Ed O'Brien #33 attempts a layup during a Cheney Studs AAU basketball game against an unknown opponent, while teammates Dan Inveen #44 and twin brother John O'Brien #22 look on. Tacoma legend Ben Cheney created the Studs to be a competitive AAU basketball team, as well as an outlet for many college players to showcase their skills during the off-season. Many of the players ended up become some of the best coaches and referees in the history of the state of Washington.
