Hall of Fame Inductee - Bob Spear

Spear, a 1973 graduate, is best remembered for his shooting prowess on the basketball court. He was a second team all-stater as a junior and was named the captain of the Chicago Daily News all-state team after his senior season, when he averaged 21-9 points per game. The honor of captain on the Chicago Daily News team equaled by the Mr. Basketball award given yearly by the Chicago Tribune.
