Billy Fikes

I've heard a lot about this guy from a mate of mine. One question, is Fikes black or white?? I never saw him play but (somewhat presumptiously) assumed he's black.

THanks

He's working for the State Police in Boise Idaho, playing ball socially and has put on even more muscle than he had than when he was in Oz.

Billy, my name is Jason from Ajo, AZ. I played against you in a state semi-final game in high school 20 years ago. I had always been known as a defensive specialist and still have nightmares about the way you abused me in that game. We got you guys in overtime and ended up winning state but I always think about how unstoppable you were when I think about that game. I finished that game on the bench with my head in my hands. Good to see that you went on to big things. I always wondered what had happened to you. Hope you're well.

Jason, I remember that game! I missed that last second shot in the 4th that could have won it for us. You guys were just too tough for us that day. It was a great game though. Wish I had it on tape!

I remember, scoring the winning basket on him my sophomore year giving us an undefeated 10-0 season! He was pissed! It would have been great to play on the same team as him in JC but he dropped out before I got there.

So true! It was fun in the beginning, but at the end they were more interested in making money than giving the customer what they wanted!

Hey, does anyone know if Ricky Simpson is still there? If he is, does anyone know how to get a hold of him? Or tell him that I'm looking for him.
If anyone can help me out it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try this one, it's a few years old but might still work.

He's heading over to the states soon too.

Is the jersey still hanging on the wall? Still remember that time you threw the chair at Riverland after the game(ha ha), we still talk about it (BT, AT, Ned, Buckwheat etc).

Hey Billy whats goin on? My name is Gabe Estrada and I guess you could call me "the stud" now days when it comes to basketball in Bagdad (but I know I will never have anything on you!). I am the only person other than you to score 1000 points or more in my high school career. Everytime people talk about me at colleges and stuff your name always comes up! its kind of amazing how 20 years later people are still talking about you playing for Bagdad! The Sultans aren't much of a team when it comes to basketball now...and it kinda sucks to be a part of a team that doesn't want to work for anything! Well, just thought I would give you the scoop on Bagdad basketball now days!

I met you in Australia prior to 1994 before moving to Los Angeles. The last time we spoke I believe it was atleast ten years ago when you were still working at Tea Tree Plaza. I used to live in Golden Grove with my husband. Please send me a return email when you get a chance. It would be really good to catch up with you after all these years.
