Youngstown State University

While at nearby Sharon (PA) high school, one just had the feeling that Bob Atterholt was going to be a success not only on the hardwood, but in life as well.

A First Team All State selection in both 1953 and 1954, he was a First Team high school All American pick in 1953. He chose to attend Youngstown State University, and head coach Dom Rosselli looks back on that decision as one of the happiest days he has ever had while on the recruiting trail.

Atterholt played for the Penguins from 1954 to 1958, and his 1,130 career markers ranks him 16th on the all time career scoring list. He was named Small College All American his senior year for the Penguins, yet his fondest memories of those days was his association with Dom Rosselli as both a player and friend, and the great fans that jammed the South High School Field House is what he will cherish most.

He is currently a production foreman with the Damascus Tube Company of Sharon, Pa. Bob married the former Lois Riley, and they reside in Greenville, Pa. they have two children, Carla and Mark.
