I was there too. I was a Gonzaga boy and my friend , Wayne Lockett was a sophomore playing for DeMatha. He really didn't get any playing time that game but became a significant part of the team for the next two years.
This game was the most heralded high school event that I ever saw. It was nice to see the local boys give Alcindor his only high school loss. Many are unaware but a photo of the entire DeMatha team is now in the Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA.
I was at this game. My buddies played for DeMatha, Bob Whitmore (15), Bernard Williams, Sid Catlett, Ernie Austin. Bob's brother Ron was with me at the game at Cole Field House; major snowstorm that night too!
I had forgotten that they didn't have seats on the floor. They could have sold 2000 more tickets.
