Sadly, it appears that the only picture available with the entire West Virginia 12-and-under squad, which became 1977 AAU National Champions, appears in the blog already... call it "Casual in Cincy."
Each of the other three photos above lack two or three players, except below. It doesn't look like it here, because these casual young fellows caused some casualties in the next few days.
