Leaders at John H. Francis Polytechnic High School in Sun Valley on Friday dedicated their school’s new gymnasium in honor of distinguished alumnus Gail Goodrich (’61), the NBA Hall of Famer and “UCLA Great.” A happy crowd gathered at the school to hear the famed basketball champion.
“It is these championship teams (Poly High, UCLA, and Lakers) that I played on that are the signature of my career,” Goodrich said. “I’m very proud to have played for the Poly Parrots. Today is a day for me to recall. To bring back the memories and thank those who helped me on my journey.”
The school’s principal, Walter Rich, said, “From the halls of Poly High School to the Hall of Fame, our new gymnasium will proudly bear his name the Gail Goodrich Sports Complex.”
