In the Dons first championship he was stuck on glue to that seasons college POY Tom Gola of LaSalle. The next year KC was ineligible for the post season and Gene Brown took over. Another title. Woolpert got tired and resigned a couple of years later. In those days USF didn’t even have a gym. They practiced at SI and played at Kezar and the Cow Palace. Great days to be a kid in The City and watch Russ dominate.
Great stuff Phogge, thank you. If you don't mind , please write what you recall about SI's gymnasium. I only know SI's current 37th Avenue campus.
The "old SI" became part of USF's campus?
I am not sure if any high school's are still using Kezar's gym. Kezar football field is home to Sacred Heart Cathedral. Visiting teams are thrilled to play a game there as it a place with history about which their parents and grandparents told them . Also, these days a grass football field is rare, and Kezar's is very well maintained, beautiful.
