I think he left Sandcreek after the 62-63 year. My fondest memory was from a pep rally in early 62 when we were 19-1 and preparing for the sectional. During the "blue&White" cheer the boys cheered on blue and the girls on white or vice versa and Joe Taylor would cheer on the wrong one. Mr Zeigler warned him a couple of times and after about the 3rd warning, he walked past Joe and pulled a starter pistol out and shot him. Of course we were all shocked until Joe jumped up and we all realized it was an act. Imagine what would happen today if that happened!!!
Posted 30 July 2010 10:08 AM Hide Post He was my principal at Sandcreek until my Senior year. I only knew him as "Mr. Ziegler" and he was a good principal. I did not know until I read his obituary that he was from Clarksburg. I didn't even know his name was Howard. We knew him as Wayne.
dinger, I'm waiting on a email that will give a brief history on Howard Wayne "Zig" Ziegler, 81,

Riddle me this: Howard Wilkerson held the county scoring record with 40 points for several years. Who broke it by how much and when did they do it and against who?
just a guess dinger 1964-1965 Steve Baugh with 44 Pt's against Dupont, and then Dale Muckerhide scored 52 Pt's. in 1965-66 season against Cross Plaines.

Monday, July 12, 2010 Indiana Elite claims 16s title at HoopFest Despite missing its two highest-ranked players because of injuries, Indiana Elite/Team Indiana won the 16s gold title in rather easy fashion.
Aaric Armstead and Tyrone Sherman of Chicago, Kenny Kaminski (photo) of Ohio scored 20 points apiece in the title game as the Indiana Elite team downed the Michigan Mustangs 74-57.
"These guys have responded very well," coach Bil Duany said. "They kind of came together as a team and we still have some good guys that can play on this team."
Foreign big men Peter Jurkin and Obij Aget were defensive forces the entire event. The same Indiana team lost in the championship game of the adidas Invitational last week in Indianapolis.
The team was missing one of the top juniors in Indiana in guard D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (knee) and top-15 big man Hanner Perea (ankle).
Bryn Forbes of East Lansing, Mich., had 21 and former Trinity guard Chris Harrison-Docks added 14 for the Mustangs.
Check out this line up, NO,, not the players, the coaches::
From the Adidas Invitational at North Central High School.
Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina Coach Roy Williams, Kansas Coach Bill Self, Ohio State Coach Thad Matta and Louisville Coach Rick Pitino are all on hand.
Some of the top players in the state: Washington's Cody Zeller, Park Tudor's Yogi Ferrell, Muncie Central's Jeremiah Davis, Lawrence Central's Jeremy Hollowell, Warren Central's Devin Davis Jr. and Heritage Christian's Basil Smotherman Jr.
