RIO GRANDE, Ohio — University of Rio Grande men’s basketball scoring legend Clarence “Bevo” Francis offered his congratulations to Grinnell College’s Jack Taylor on his 138-point outing against Faith Baptist Bible on Tuesday night.
Taylor’s performance topped the previous NCAA record of 113 points set by Francis 59 years ago against Hillsdale (Mich.) in Jackson, Ohio.
“When I scored all those points, I broke someone’s record. Records are made to be broken,” Francis said. “I want to send out my congratulations to the young man for a great night of basketball and wish him all the luck in the future.”

I saw film clips of Francis, and I’ll tell you what...he looked like a hell of a ballplayer. I mean one who could be a good player today at an elite level...even the pros. Taylor will go no further than where he is right now.
