Danville gets call for high school Hall of Fame

DANVILLE – Gene Gourley will be home for years to come.

Same for John Spezia, Fred Menkhaus and Don Harden.

The four Illinois Basketball Hall of Famers – all of whom have extensive Danville roots – will be immortalized in the area either where they grew up (Harden, Spezia) or the community where they spent more than two decades coaching and teaching (Gourley, Menkhaus and Spezia).
