FKIM01 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 He is in the Indiana basketball hall of fame, but I just noticed a typo in his writeup. They list him as an all-state member as a senior, but the year listed, he would have been a soph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a player, but I was told he tore his son Jeff's junior high games apart so viciously that Jeff said the hell with it and never played a high school game. Younger brother Sam "Slammin' Sammy" Grove was a starter on the 1978 Hatchet's team that coughed up a 10-point lead with two minutes to go against Terre Haute South in the semi-state finals. The guy that told me the story said Jeff was a lot better than Sam, and I thought Sam was a very good player. John Brown from the 1978 WHS team still holds the single game field goal percentage at USI (then ISUE). 1979 Mr. Basketball Steve Bouchie was a junior on that team. All they lacked in my opinion was a competent coach. Art was a hell of a player. In his soph year, he had an attack of appendicitis between the afternoon and night game and was unable to play the game Washington lost. Washington won the state the next two years with Art running the team and thus, Art never lost a tournament game he played in. https://hoopshall.com/inductees/robert-grove/ Edited October 22, 2021 by FKIM01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to First Baptist church with a guy named John Brown. Knew him pretty well. Could be a different John though this timeline fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I don't know the answer but I know some of you guys will. I need your help. Chris Taylor became the 2nd player ever to hit 3 hr in a playoff game and also hit a walk off in the playoffs that same year. Not sure who was the first I went through both lists and no one else is on both. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention 3 batting titles, 17 all star appearances (5 different positions) I believe he is the only person to start all star games at 5 different positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
