By Kevin Hieronymus

Chips Giovanine (left) always came dressed for success when it came to his basketball at Bureau Township, Buda Western and LaSalle-Peru. He won 674 games from 1985-93, directing the Western Rams to three straight Colmone Classic championships (1974-76) and back-to-back state tournament appearances in 1975 and 1976.
