To honor the late Garry Donna, Hoosier Basketball Magazine is printing a nostalgia “throw-back” cover to the 1970-71 season, Garry Donna’s first year as publisher. Romeo Langford of New Albany has a replica photo on the front cover, which replaces the picture of Peru’s John Garrett from the 1970-71 issue. This nostalgia edition can be order by mail only (please call 317-925-8200).
