All-American Team Includes M S'er Alan Van Wyngarden, the star center for the mighty Mexico Bulldogs' basketball team, was heaped with many honors this year, but undoubtedly the most im- portant was the one that named him to the All-Ameri- can high school basketball squad as an Honorable Mention. The 6'6 senior led the 1968-69 version of the Bull- dogs to a 23-5 record with an average of 19.9 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. An excellent shot, Alan dumped in 52 percent of his field goal attempts and 69 percent of his free throws. Blocking shots was one of his specialties, and he was considered the finest defensive center in the area by opposing coaches. Alan's other honors included unanimous selection to the All-CEMO conference, All-District, and All- Ledgerland teams. He was then chosen for the first team in All-State classification and, to crown his glory, was elected honorary Bulldog team captain by his teammates. 6'6 center, Alan Van Wyngarden comes down with the ball as Charles Fountain 1522 screens an opponent from the action. Van Wyngarden was the fourth All-State choice from Mexico in MHS history.
