Back in the 1960s, few would have guessed that Byron Van Hoff, a future second-round pick of the New York Mets, would be the fourth most well-known athlete from his Batavia High School (Ill.) basketball team. But that's what happened. Two of Van Hoff's teammates made names for themselves in basketball—one as the all-time leading scorer at Kentucky (still) and an ABA icon; the other as a colorful courtside announcer.
