At age 69, hoop experts are wondering if Conley's quarterfinal win over Larry Gardner's Ft. Anyone with that piece of knowledge should e-mail us soon. We think the venerable Conley may stand alone with the aforementioned distinction. According to the Bangor Daily News and tournament director, Bill Fletcher, over 70,000 fans paid admission for this year's event. The News lists this figure as the all-time record for fan attendance to the Bangor Auditorium for tourney play.
Fans are the soul of the game.
