Big George attended Roth HS (same as Donald Smith and JD Grigsby) and Kilgore JC in TX.
And Bucky wasn't lying when he said George couldn't shoot a lick from the FT line. Boy, was he an adventure from the charity stripe, but he more than made up for it with his rebounding prowess.
The article references another JC transfer--Tom Crosswhite.
And in typical Don Donoher fashion, he stayed close to George until the end.

That is a GREAT article you have referenced Swampy! I remember George as a very humble person. But boy could he REBOUND! I was a junior at UD when George came on board. He may have left us but he will never be forgotten! And by the way Tom Crosswhite teamed up very well with George and Kenny May.
