Basketball 1953 - 1954 The Posies had a good season this year, breaking even with an eleven won and eleven lost record. This record is even more gratifying when the competition's strength is considered, for there is no doubt about it, the Posies had a very tough schedule. The season started with a fifty-two to forty-six victory over Mt. Olympus, but met trouble during two successive losses, one to New Harmony by twenty-one points and the other to Cwensville by thirty-two points. The sobered Posies then bounced back to take the next three in a row by defeating Newburgh, Haubstadt and Cynthiana. Again the Posies ran into a losing streak by being defeated in the next three games by Patoka, Griffin and Wadesville. These losses were not significant though, as the loss to Patoka was on their floor and was only by four points: and the losses to Griffin and Wadesville were soon to be avenged. The Posies won their next game against Chandler and then lost to a fast, underrated Mount Vernon team. In the Posey County Tourney, Poseyville drew Wadesville. The surprised Red Devils were soon extinguished by a sharpshooting, re- bounding, inspired, Poseyville team. The same outstanding brand of ball was played against New Harmony in the final game, but the Posies were up against a very tall team who had lost only one game during the seson. The team did, however, have the satisfaction of accepting the game ball for being runner-up and also had the privilege of placing two men, Gilbert Crabtree and Jim Rutledge, on the All-County Team. The Posies returned to season play by requiting an earlier season loss over Griffin. The next team on the schedule, Elberfeld, fell to the Posies also. Poseyville then lost to a supercharged Wadesville team who was out to vindicate their Tourney loss to the Posies. The Posies Went on to lose a thrilling game to Lincoln after beating Cynthiana for the second time, then crushed Haubstadt by twenty-one points, and wound up the season by losing a hard-fought game to the Posey County Champs -- New Harmony. Poseyville drew Cynthiana in the sectional and proceeded to eliminate them in a well-played game. This win gave them a chance against Central, long an outstanding team in the state. While the Posies played very good ball, they could not match the height and experience of the Evansville team, and went down by a sixty-six to thirty-four score. The first team was made up of five Seniors, four Juniors, and two Sophomores. Gilbert Crabtree, the center and Captain of the team, was top scorer and rebounder of the team. Helping him mightily with the rebounding and offensive were forwards Charlie Mobley and Joe Reynolds. The men responsible for bringing the ball down the floor, setting up plays, and scoring consistently were guards Jim Rutledge, Robert Stevens and Richard Newman.
