I am 67 years old born in the same generation as the basketball players in The White Shadow. I loved watching this series back in the day and I didn't miss an episode. Kevin Hooks, the son of actor Robert Hooks was one of my favorite character. Let's not forget the actress Joan Pringle who played the high school principal character, Sybil Buchanan. Not only was she beautiful, smart, classy, she was down to earth and care about the students. Coach Reeves aka Ken Howard cared about his players and what was going on in their personal lives. Ira Angustain aka Ricky Gomez that played a Mexican American, I wish he got more screen time because I wanted to know more about his character. Unfortunately, Nathan Cook that played the character Milton Reese died young at the age of 38 in 1988. In those days, baseball players wore very small baseball shorts not like the long basketball shorts today in 2022. Thomas Carter aka James Haywood was another one of my favorite characters on the series. Carter went on to be a Director directing many televisions series and movies.
The White Shadow is a classic series for many in my generation born in the 50's. I purchased and own Seasons 1 & 2.
