I remember John Ward's play by play call of the game. Made you feel as though you were actually sitting in Stokley, especially if you were familiar with the gym.

It was against Auburn.

He and lofton the two most unconscious shooters to wear orange. You could have 3 people on Tony and he’s still getting his points.

John had a way of doing that. He was one of the last few old-timers that knew how to paint you a picture with his microphone..

103 points total for the team. Beats some of the rock fights we’ve watched this year.

Dang he scored more than the whole team did against Auburn in the last game.

While I didn't witness the record game, I did see him go for 49 against FSU on 12/30/86 in the Red Lobster Classic at the Orlando Civic Center.
God, guy could absolutely tear it up!

If we had one....just one...of those types on this roster, we'd be cookin' with bacon fat.

The other day I was going through some of my old newspaper clippings from HS football and baseball; I found a rap song that I had written with a mention of Tony White. lol
