Where have you gone? (another Woollum era Bucknell edition)
From a small Western Pa. paper known as The Herald, a story today on Bucknell grad Eric Hegedus, who is being inducted into the Fox Chapel Area Schools Sports Hall of Fame.

A 1,000 point scorer in high school, the 6-5 Hegedus was more of a worker bee at Bucknell, where he twice led the Bison in rebounding.

According Hegedus: "I had an unspectacular college career, but we won."

Indeed. According to the article:
When Hegedus arrived during the 1981-82 season, he led the junior varsity team to a 15-1 record. That same season, the varsity club lost a school-record 20 games.

With Hegedus in the varsity lineup two years later, the Bison won a school-record 24 games. That record stood until the recently-completed 2005-06 season, when Bucknell won 27 games.

Bucknell was 60-26 and won two East Coast Conference championships during the three seasons Hegedus played. He led the team in rebounding during the 1982-83 season (5.3 per game) and the 1983-84 season (6.6).
Nowadays, Hegedus is a professor and physical therapist at Duke.
