Tears streamed down Gloria Stallworth’s face.
A crowd of around 100, consisting of family members, former teammates and fans of Dave Stallworth, gathered at Koch Arena on Saturday morning for the unveiling of a statue commemorating “Dave the Rave.”
Some came to pay their respects to Wichita State’s first consensus basketball All-American, who led the Shockers to their first Missouri Valley Conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. But for others, Stallworth was so much more than a basketball player.
That’s why Gloria Stallworth became emotional when the life-sized, bronzed statue of her late husband was revealed in front of Koch Arena.
