Former @isualum director Jeff Johnson and his wife Peggy kick off the annual @APDAParkinsons Iowa conference today sharing Jeff’s Parkinson’s diagnosis story. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen them not wearing Cardinal and Gold. #CyclonePower#LoyalSonForeverTrue
Iowa Time Machine ⏰: On June 4, 1935, Gary “The Roland Rocket” Thompson was born. A legendary scorer who once held the Iowa high school and Iowa State total points titles, Thompson stood small in stature but tall on the court.
Born in Story County, Thompson first gained the attention of Iowans as a 5’6” sophomore, leading the Roland Rockets to the title game of the 1951 Iowa high school basketball tournament. For three years, Thompson led his team to the tournament while racking up an incredible (and state-record-setting) 2,042 points.
After high school, “The Roland Rocket” landed in Ames, where he quickly became a star for the Cyclones in basketball and baseball. During his three years at Iowa State, Thompson continued to score, setting the program's high-water mark with 1,253 points. The most notable night of Thompson’s career came during his senior season, when the Cyclones played host to Wilt Chamberlain’s Kansas Jayhawks in the Ames Armory in 1957. With the Jayhawks riding a twelve-game winning streak, the Cyclones knew a win would take everyone. With the score tied 37-37 as time wound down, Kansas keyed on “The Roland Rocket” while leaving Don Medsker open to hit the game-winner. Although Thompson didn’t take the winning shot, the small man from Story County slayed the proverbial Goliath in scoring, 18-17.
Thompson, Iowa’s first-ever 1,000-point high school scorer, became Iowa State’s first 1st Team All-American in basketball. Following a brief career with the Phillips 66s of the Amateur Athletic Union, Thompson continued to entertain Iowa hoops fans as a broadcaster for decades. #Iowa #OTD #History #Basketball #Baseball
