Titan Sports Hall of Fame
There are only two teams in Westminster men's basketball history to win 25 or more games in a season. Jim Goske was the leading scorer on the last Titan team to reach the benchmark in 1993-94.
During Goske's junior season the Titans won their first Keystone-Empire Collegiate Conference title - going 14-0 in league play - and advanced to the NAIA Division I Tournament in Tulsa, Okla., before the Titans finished the season with a 25-3 record, surpassed only by the 1961-62 team that went 26-3.
Goske, a 6-foot-4 forward, averaged a team-high 17 points per game that year and led the team with 77 3-pointers. As a senior in 1994-95, Goske averaged 14.6 points per game, second on the team to another prolific scorer, Booker Newberry. Goske finished his career with 1,202 career points, which currently ranks 19th in school history.
A second-team all-KECC selection, Goske was called a "fine student; a leader on and off the court; a battler," by head coach Ron Galbreath.
A native and resident of Boardman, Ohio, and a Boardman High School graduate, Goske has three degrees from Westminster: his bachelor's in business administration in 1995, a teaching certificate in 1997, and master's degree in 2001. An elementary school principal and basketball coach, Goske and his wife Marlis have two children - Jimmy and Cami.
