High Point Panthers Boast Of Two Giants
High Point College thrives on two towering players, Hugh Hampton at 6'6" and Bill Keene at 6'8" who anchor the Panthers. Hampton captains the team, led them to a 22–4 record last season, and excels in soccer and baseball in addition to basketball. Keene, a junior from Rich Square, shared backcourt duties with Hampton, and both figure to be key presences as they near graduation, leaving coach Virgil Yow with mixed emotions.
