THE KRAZE AWARD

John Kratzer, captain of William and Mary's 1977-78 men's basketball team, received the inaugural United States Basketball Writers Association Most Courageous Athlete award. After lettering his first two years at forward, Kratzer was diagnosed with cancer and battled the disease for three more years. Throughout the ordeal, John never lost his sense of humor and continued to be the player who kept the team loose and served as an inspiration. ?Kraze? attended practices and sat on the bench his senior year, playing a major role in W&M's 78-75 win over No. 2 North Carolina on December 7, 1977. Through it all, John's warmth, cheerfulness and courage touched countless people.
