David Teel, Sports Columnist for the Daily Press, had an article in this mornings paper that brings back memories of the basketball exploits of NNHS great Chris Ellis ('64) and the last basketball game that the Hokies won in Charlottesville (January1968).
A Microsoft Word version of the article is attached or the article
can be viewed at:
You may recall that Chris was the youngest of the 3 Ellis brothers
that starred at NNHS during one of its most celebrated basketball
eras. Older Brother Nelson (Moocher) and middle brother Donald
(NNHS58) also started for NNHS teams that were Virginia State
Champions.
Several interesting items that David Teel mentions in his article.
1. The story of the NNHS 1964 team defeating W&M in a scrimmage.
2. Chris was a Parade All-American the same year as Lew Alcindor.
3. The VT Hokies were 4-0 against the UVA Wahoos during the Chris
Ellis years (1967-69).
4. Chris Ellis played guard when the Hokies made it to the NCAA
Regional Championship in March of 1967. VT lost to Dayton, who then
lost to the Alcindor led UCLA Bruins in the National Title game.
I don't know how much of this history is available in the Virginia
Tech archives, but we need a way to archive this kind of NNHS
history. The last graduating class was 1971 and we need to archive
our history and stories before it is lost.

MEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALLFond memories of Hokies' win 40 years agoDavid Teel, Copyright © 2008, Newport News, Va., Daily Press 6:36 PM EST, January 15, 2008 Chris Ellis savors his
basketball memories: Leading Newport News High to an undefeated state
championship season; advancing to an NCAA regional final with Virginia
Tech; trying out for the ABA's Kentucky Colonels. |
"It was a heated
(rivalry)," said Ellis, 63 and retired from the Virginia Department of
Transportation. "I was drilled when I got to Tech that we did not like
U.Va." |

We Are the Champions
Queen
I've paid my
dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my
friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've bought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my
friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
