I went to the same high school as Tokoto! I graduated in 1961 from the Menomonee Falls High School ( Wisconsin ).
The Menomonee Falls Indians were always one of the top teams in their devision. I didn't play basketball though, but did a good job handing out the water!

I went to the same school as Alphonse Gangitano.
Steve Silvagni, Gav Brown & Darren Perry did also.
Gangitano never played basketball but had a kick of footy.
Hope this helps...

I went to the same High School as Captain Feathersword from The Wiggles.
Dunno if he ever played bball, but he went on to wielda mean feather.
This is one of the coolest stories I've ever read
I went to school with the (original) Milkybar kid, shot hoops at recess.

Did Alphonse Gangitano have to pay others to shoot hoops for him?
Captain Feathersword did all his own hits.

I went to school with DJ Havana Brown. That is not her real name and she never played basketball.
No one from my school ever amounted to shit, and who am I to ruin a long-standing tradition.
Not sure whether this counts, but my wife now takes our standard poodle to Tokato's groomer. Seemed a no-brainer to switch.

I once commented on a basketball forum in a discussion about a guy who claims he went to the same school as a current Perth Wildcats import.

My eldest daughter used to babysit for Paul Rogers.
My mum used to go to the same church as Ricky Grace.
My second daughter used to go to some Uni classes with Drew Williamson.
When I was working in the ANZ bank, just after the Seoul Olympics I served Luc Longley, and Vlahov was with him.

For some reason I thought this was going to be a young kid who did an assignment about tokoto for school

I went to high school with Hoggy Time. He has a legit jump shot, should be in the NBL.
"My Tokoto story"
When will this be made into a Broadway musical?
I played with Vlahov on the same roulette table at the casino once. After he left someone announced: "He used to play for Perth Glory" .... lolololol

Just got onto Ticketek and bought front row tickets for The Tokoto Story at the Garden of Unearthly Delights this Saturday night.
Why were they excited when I booked?
