Bobby
Huffman
If Peebles basketball had a Hall of Fame, Bobby Huffman would
be the first to be inducted. The son of longtime town cop Buck Huffman, Bobby was well ahead of his time as a ballplayer.
A
flu epidemic in the 1950s gave Bobby the chance to start varsity his freshmen year. He took advantage of the opportunity,
scoring 1484 points over an 86-game varsity career. He remains the Boy Indians' leading scorer, and has only been surpassed
by Angie Austin and Kim Danner on the all-time list.
Bobby was dominant on the court in part because he is credited as the first
local player to use the jump shot. The jump shot became more common when families began buying televisions, and the
players imitated as they watched in the NBA.

Kim
Danner
Kim Danner was part of a 1987 girls' team that, in one fan's
words, "Played like boys." Kim's aggressive play made a her a dynamo on the court. On offense, she could
score 30 a game, and on defense her steals often led to scoring fast breaks.
In coach Tom Newman's
words, "That '87 team...they were racehorses."
Danner scored her thousandth point as a junior, and set the school's scoring
record the next year. She went on to play four years of college ball for Shawnee State University.
