Runner-Up Team of 1926 Ui The basketball team of 1926 accomplished the greatest feats ever known by an Erie school. City, Northwestern and Western Pennsylvania champions were the titles won. They not only won three championships, but finished as runner-up in the state championship tournament. This successful team was coached by Gus Anderson. Twenty-five games were won, while Franklin and Nanticoke were the only teams that were able to force East to dip its colors in defeat. Most outstanding in East’s playing was its strong defensive game. This is but a brief story about a wonderful team. 16
