The Tenino Tower still stands tall in Washington’s high school basketball lore.
In 1963, a 6-foot-10 kid named Gordy Harris, dominated the Class B state tournament with 164 points in four games, including 54 in a double-overtime game against Davenport. Both were - and still are - tournament records. For an encore, Harris made the giant leap from Washington’s smallest classification for prep basketball to the highest level of college hoops.
Harris played three seasons at the University of Washington. He graduated in 1967 after scoring 1,054 points, eighth most in school history at the time.
