Shriver Stars as Alumni Defeat Grafton High in Exhibition
Jim Shriver led the Alumni to a 138 point win over Grafton High with 14 points while Jack Newhouse and Cuppett each posted nine for the high school. Terry Shriver and Posey battled for boards but the Bearcats lacked scoring punch as Alumni guards Isner and Willis stifled outside shots. The crowd noted the unequal height and depth gap and questioned the all star lineup usage as the game stretched to late, with seven alumni playing while others rested on the bench.
