Cy Godfrey ’55 played in 54 games for the W&J basketball program and was considered one of the eastern United States’ top scorers for three seasons. His 1,438 points still rank him seventh on the school’s all-time charts and his 42-point effort versus West Virginia Wesleyan in 1955 remains as the second-highest single-game scoring output in the program’s long history. As a senior, Godfrey racked up 482 points which has stayed as the third-highest single-season total in W&J history.
His 23.0 point per game average in 1995 ranked among the national leaders during a period in which W&J played Division I schools. One of Godfrey’s most notable accomplishments occurred during his senior season at the Quantico Marines Christmas Tournament. He led the Presidents to a runner-up finish and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, while competing against All-Americans from N.C. State and Iowa. Godfrey also battled three-time NBA All-Star and St. Francis College (Pa.) graduate Maurice Stokes throughout his collegiate career.
