Title: Milt Schoon Passes Away
Post by: classof2014 on January 20, 2015, 01:12:40 PM
One of the all time greats in Valpo history past away at the age of 92. A very sad day for Valpo basketball, the university, and the city as a whole. For Valpo wouldn't be Valpo if it wasn't for his part in the World's Tallest Team.

RIP Milt
