Mr. Frank pt. 1
02/28/23 • 38 min
Frank Wachlarowicz rewrote the record books at St. John's, the MIAC and the state during his four years as a starter for Coach Smith, leaving Collegeville with the most points ever by a collegiate basketball player in the state of Minnesota. But his legacy will always be much more than numbers on a stat sheet. Today, on the season one finale of No Place I'd Rather Be, we try to stay out of your way and let the two-time All-American speak for himself. In the first of two episodes dedicated to the man from Little Falls, we focus mostly on what led him to St. John's, his early days on campus and some of his high school playing days.
