Ripon's 100 For 100: Scott Gillespie '11

RIPON, Wis. – Scott Gillespie '11 was born with a basketball in his hand, as the son of legendary Ripon College Hall of Fame coach Bob Gillespie, and grandson of another Ripon Hall of Famer, legendary coach Gordie Gillespie. Ripon High School's record holder for career points and single game points (52), Scott was able to carve out his own legacy during his four-year career with the Red Hawks men's basketball team, graduating as the program's all-time leader in points (1,871) and assists (602). His scoring output currently ranks second in school and 10th in Midwest Conference history, while his assist record still stands today and is more than 100 better than the second-highest total, while ranking second in conference history. That has helped earn Scott's own place in Ripon College's Athletics Hall of Fame where this summer, he'll join his father and grandfather as the only family with three generations to receive that distinction, in the first year that he is eligible.
