Govoner Vaughn (born March 1, 1937)[2] was a former high school, college and professional basketball player during the 1950s & 60s.
Vaughn played in eight career state playoff games over two seasons, and his 92 points were all scored during the 1956 tournament.
[4] Vaughn rejoined the Globetrotters in 2010 and served as the team's director of alumni relations after spending 24 years at Detroit Edison.
[5] Even with the graduation of leading scorer Don Ohl, the Fighting Illini experienced a surge in performance sparked by the play of junior center John Wessels and Edwardsville High School teammate Mannie Jackson along with senior guard Roger Taylor.
He started all 23 games during that season and dominated all offensive categories after an injury sidelined previous team-leader John Wessels.
