Decatur High School

Class of 1945

Inducted January 2017

Bob "Chick" Doster led the 1945 Decatur High School team to a state championship, scoring 96 points in four games — including a game-winning layup with two seconds left in the semifinals against Galesburg. He led the Illini in scoring as a freshman, but a bout of liver disease ended his playing career.
