I was in the graduating class of 1969. Glenn Davis was the Varsity Basketball and Track coach. For a dollar bet, he could sink the ball every time from anywhere on the center court line. He his open door policy for black kids kept us from ever having race riots at school. It was a great school back then. Hope it is now.
