| DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL TEAM |
|
|
| 1937 |
Pictured above is the West Branch High School
Basketball Squad that completely upset the dope in winning
the district tournament here. Kneeling, left to right are: Fred Minzer, Jack Schubert, Jess Embury, Herb Bovee, Jack Brown,
and Jack Crandell. Standing, left to right are: Coaches Kern and Hakenen, Zettle, Adrian, Pekrul, Thompson, Preston, Killinger,
Lucas and Supt. A. F. Lucas.
The five players in the back row wearing double numbered
uniforms are members of the strong reserve team.
..From the newspaper...
West Branch High played inspired ball throughout the entire
tournament. No single player could be said to have been outstanding; they all carried out their parts very capably.
Embury, who has been having tough luck with his shots all season, finally found the hoop and was a sparkplug in the newly
discovered knack of winning.
