Remembering a basketball legend: WAYNE ESTES
58 years ago today we lost a great man and legendary Aggie basketball player…whose legend lives on!
Wayne Estes, February 8, 1965.
Now, let’s go support the team and try to win tonight for Wayne and Aggie nation. Good luck tonight, Aggies! We believe!
Excerpt from the article, “Fifty Year Anniversary of Wayne Estes' Death is This Sunday, Feb. 8”…
“Wayne Estes was an All-American basketball player for Utah State University from 1963 to 1965 and to this day is still regarded as the best cager in school history.
On the night of February 8, 1965, Estes played the last game of his college career against the Denver University in the Nelson Fieldhouse on the USU campus. Estes, who scored the second-most points in a single-game in school history that night with 48 (trailing his school-record 52 points set a year earlier) eclipsed the 2,000 point mark with his final basket of the game to give him 2,001 points for his career. With his final basket, Estes became just the 18th player in NCAA history to score 2,000 points.”

I say it every year but those who live in Logan need to lobby the City to get a street named after him.

Re: Remembering a basketball legend: WAYNE ESTES
I'm guessing he'd be a 3 or a stretch 4. He had very nice range, but could mix it up in the key.FeartheFro wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 12:49 pmThanks for posting this. First time I have seen game footage. Where does Wayne play in todays game? Is he a 2/3 or 4?

Re: Remembering a basketball legend: WAYNE ESTES
I know there is a lot of bad stuff on the internet but to be able to see this was special. I was able to show my dad video of Rex Layne (Cache valley kid/Lewiston) fighting Rocky Marciano at MSG. My father was best friends with Rex’s younger brother. My dad was crying watching this fight on YouTube (trying to grasp the concept) telling me how he remembers listening to the fight on the radio and wishing he could see it. 70 years later he was able to.

Re: Remembering a basketball legend: WAYNE ESTES
No chance we are losing tonight, Aggie Nation. The vibes will be immaculate, and Wayne's spirit will guide the three balls to the bottom of the net. I believe.

Re: Remembering a basketball legend: WAYNE ESTES
Legend indeed. I was 11 years old and living in the "real NorCal".
I followed the college real close and loved Wayne Estes. Shocking for me when I heard about it.

I was just short of eleven. Missed the game but found out next morning.

Man, of all nights to pull out the bacon necked retro jerseys with the Estes patch - this was it. Too bad it ended in only more Aggie heartache.
