 The
lengthy list of outstanding Midland basketball players includes
Norm Van
Lier,
Sim Hill,
Stan Yukica,
and
Nick Aloi,
but the athlete who set Midland's single game scoring record is Herb
Lake. During his senior season, 6'-5" Herb scored 53 points
in a 101-46 win over Mars and was a unanimous
selection on the Section 8 All Star Team and third team All State. After graduating from Midland in 1955, Herb
moved on to Youngstown State University on a basketball scholarship,
where he earned second team All American honors as a senior and ranked second in the country in rebounds. Herb
set three rebounding records at Youngstown State: single
game (33), single season (555), and career (1783). During his
Youngstown State career, Herb helped the
Penguins to a 77-34 record and three trips to the NAIA Tournament. |
