Wide-eyed basketball player Bobby Thomsen leaps high in the air with a basketball posed delicately on his fingertips during practice at the Western State Hospital gym on December 2, 1967. He was a member of the Cheney Studs Courteers sponsored by sports aficionado and philanthropist Ben Cheney. The Courteers were junior high school boys who were able to put on dazzling displays of basketball wizardry primarily during half-times of high school, college and professional games. Bobby was a junior high student at Mason Junior High (now Middle School) at the time of this photograph. He was on the team from 1967-1969. Photograph ordered by Cheney Lumber Co.
