Foust played baseball and basketball at Fordham. All those guys were my childhood heros! Wayne James had an unforgettable game against Peekskill and Todd Scott one year in the sectional tourn. which was played at SUNY Purchase. For all of PC current success, they really have a deep tradition of solid ballers. Webber Dr. was the home to some great bball back then! Hoops Fan-

Where did he end up playing college ball? A few of the other great Portchester players I remember are Anthony Faust, Tony Grier, Lou Vincent and Wayne James. Not too mention some non-Portchester HS guys like Rashamel Jones and Earl Johnson. Bill Dorsett was another great player - I don't remember if he ever playing any ball after high school. PC Fan,

He was about 6'4" and was a tremendous leaper. Alva Cooper played around the same time at White Plains - he was about 6'0" but could really get off the floor. He played in the post at WP. I don't remember him dunking that often, but when he did it was something.
