TUSCARAWAS BRONCOS TEAM PHOTO: When Head Coach Charmis Davis called practice the 1st week in November, about 25-boys reported. Coach Davis built his team around 3 letter men and had a Reserve Team that played a preliminary before many Varsity games. The Varsity finished the regular schedule at 9-7 and the Reserves at 7-3. The highlight of the season was a 22-11 victory over the Gnadenhutten Indians midway through the season. Their immediate goal is picking up a victory in the upcoming county tournament. The tournament began in 1932 and the Broncos were an initial member of those teams. They are currently 0-9 in tournament play.
HEAD COACH CHARMIS DAVIS - Coach Davis is liked by everyone. Through his coaching, Tusky has developed a winning basketball team. He has always shown the best of sportsmanship in defeat as well as in victory.
JOHN CORPMAN - "Corty", as forward, was always able to make points when they were needed. He is only a Sophomore and in the future he should be a worry to the guards of opposing teams.
STANLEY SARPOLUS - "Stan", a guard, was a capable Captain of the Varsity during the 1st semester. He then became ineligible because of his age and was elected Manager for the rest of the basketball season.
JOHN REISER - "Reiser", was our Varsity center. He always secured his share of points and was able to retrieve the ball from the bankboard. He has another year to play.
MARIO BESOZZI - "Brownie" was high point man on the team this year. He played forward and was Captain for the last half of the season. As he is a Senior, he will be missed very much by the team next year.
FRANCIS MYERS - "Jakey", guard, always played a good defensive game. He showed his abililty as a player by getting the ball down the floor. He is a Junior and has one more year to play.
EARL STEVENSON - "Stevie" played a fast game as forward. He was known for his good passing, so enabling his teammates to score. He is only a Sophomore and should play well in his Junior and Senior years.
RAYMOND MATHIAS - Although "Reggie", a center, did not play regularly on the 1st team, he was a regular sub and was always ready to go. He was a star on the Reserve Team. Raymond graduates this year.
CALVIN KNISELY - "Cal" is only a Freshman, but he played guard on the Varsity in his 1st year in high school. He could be depended upon to get the ball in scoring position. He should star in the remaining 3 years he has to play.
These 8 players comprise the Varsity squad. They have proven their abililty by conquering teams much stronger than they. We lose only 3 players this year and we sincerely hope that Tusky will have a successful basketball season next year.
