SUNY Cortland Athletics

Walter Przybylo played three years of varsity basketball at Cortland, serving as captain in his senior year. He also played two years as goalie on the soccer team and recalls the team's losing only to Springfield. Cortland defeated Colgate, Syracuse, Cornell, Army and Rochester.

At Linton High School, Przybylo's basketball teams won 46 straight games from 1960 to 1963, and then had a string of 38 straight wins from 1969 to 1971. Przybylo is credited with producing five high school All-Americans: Barry Kramer of New York University (who also made college All-American) and the New York Knicks; Pat Riley of Kentucky (another college All-American) and the Los Angles Lakers; his son, Gary Przybylo, of Michigan State; Sid Edwards of Houston; and Dave Modest. Przybylo was a member of the Schenectady County Coaches Association.

UPDATE: Przybylo passed away on May 24, 1973 at age 49.
