Who was the Basketball Coach for Sandcreek in 1946-45 season.

A little birdie helped me with this, but I believe that he played for Sandusky and in 1963 scored 329 points with a single game high of 32 points.

dinger,What do you know about Gary Davis ????

I had already graduated, but for some reason, I want to say Ken Biddinger in 1967, Gary Wilson in 1966 and I believe that John Boyd and Tim Cruser shared that in 1965.

1965 (my Senior Year) was Tim Cruser with 307 pts
1966 & 67 - his Cousin Jim Cruser with 336 and
352 respectively.

By the way Tim's Dad was Sandy and Jim's dad was Red.

You've stumped me willy. I remember the name and I believe that he went on to be a doctor, but I don't remember his award.

dinger Jolly was the season leader in pts scored for Sandcreek and He also was the best free throw shooters in Indiana and thats why the Southeastern Indiana Coaches Association awarded Jolly the trophy 1957-58 season.

dinger, Roy Jolly from Sandcreek received a trophy from the Southeastern Indiana Coaches Association 1957-58 season.

What was Jolly accomplishments ????

You mean he din't get the ball to Jimmy and run the old picket fence?

Oh, wait a minute that was something else. My senior mind has wandered again.
