For those so inclined, you could start spending time in the boys locker room of Carver High School when The White Shadow opened on this date.
Ken Howard was nicknamed “The White Shadow” while he played for Manhasset High School ‘s basketball team. He was the only white starter on his team. Howard based his performance on his high school basketball coach, Fritz Mueller. Carver’s team colors, orange and blue, were based on the the colors of Howard’s school.
