Contact Us About the Buchan Bakers

 

The Buchan Bakers won the National AAU Championship 48 years ago, but the exploits of those who played high-caliber amateur basketball long ago is mostly forgotten.  Robin Buchan and Bruce Kitts have written a book, Longshot -- The Story Of The Buchan Bakers, available now. We welcome feedback about this site and are particularly interested in any first-hand reminiscences.
