Mineral City 1942 Cheerleaders. Helen Martin - Velma McCartney - Velva Jean Steinbaugh - Clara Jane Morris - Betty Lou Brinkman - Jean Jones - Betty Jeanne Reese - Pat Graves and Jean Weaver.
Something different this year, our cheerleaders' instructor, Miss O'Dwyer, elected 9 girls to cheer for our basketball team. They were very good this season and attracted a great deal of attention. They led cheers and made formations such as: V for Victory, M for Mineral, T for Tigers and many others that are being demonstrated at the county basketball tournament and cased a great deal of comment all season.
The misfortunes of the current Mineral City High School basketball team are quite a contrast to the 1928-29 team pictured above with their Head Coach Wilbur Edgar Laws, who is now County School Superintendent. While the current Mineralites have nicked the victory side of the ledger only once, Coach Laws' combination rolled through the entire season undefeated. Members of the squad shown above were, FRONT: Lewis Hothem - Bob Markley - Walter Eyster and Julius Mathey. BACK: Francis Maurer - Elmer Harris - Head Coach W.E. Laws - Gene Gordon and Charles Wagner.
DOVER - The Stone Creek Golden Panthers (1-0) (8-17), led by 1st-Year Head Coach M.R. Helwick, overwhelmed the Mineral City Tigers (0-1) (9-27), led by 1st-Year Head Coach Leo M. Thomas, as the Golden Panthers cornered the Tigers in a 51-14 romp in the 1st game of the 1942 Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball Tournament on Thursday night.
Stone Creek jumped to a 10-4 lead in the very 1st quarter and increased their lead to 13 points by halftime as the scoreboard read 22-9. During the 3rd quarter, the Panthers scored their high of the quarters by dropping in 16 points, while the Stone Creek defense held the Tigers to just 4 points and were leading at the end of the 3rd period 38-13. The Panthers continued to tighten their defense and held Mineral City to just one free throw to ice the game in the 4th stanza.
Forward Bill Ridenour of Stone Creek led all scorers for game honors racking up 24 points, all field goals. His teammates, forward Ralph Kilenherman picked up 15 points, while center K. Buehler added another 10 points. No one on the Mineral City team were in double figures, but Freshman forward Charles Baker led his team with 6 points.
