McDaniels, Clem Haskins, Dwight and Greg Smith (Clem and Greg both played in the league and by all accounts Dwight was better than both) and Faried.

Bob Davis from Georgetown College was an Olympian.

Kenny Davis who played at Georgetown was the team captain on the 72 Olympic team that was screwed over by the Olympic committee in favor of the Russians.

Kenny Davis ... lives in Berea, went to Georgetown... was captain of 1972 Olympic Team..2 time NAIA ALL-American ... retired Converse Representative.. was pivotal during Bid Magic era... both wore Converse! People tend to forget about Converse!

I heard him speak one time that the team still have never accepted their silver medals and he has in his will that his family can never accept his. He has an awesome story about not only the game but being in the village when the other Olympians were killed.
