CHS basketball sharpshooter, perhaps best known for the single-game boys scoring record. He outscored the Livingston team by himself in a district tournament game, 50-49, and also scored 50 points in another game. Made all-Midstate and all-state teams in the pre-classification era, and averaged 28 points per game in 1953, leading the Midstate area and possibly the state. Received numerous college scholarship offers.

“Thank you for this, he would have been proud,” the late Short’s daughter Tonia said on his behalf.
