555, 'ngi,,.,,1g w:'e.ggr3v5fr,-in ir if ir if 'lr ir When Coach Harry E. Ray was presented the generalship of the Ro- chester High School basketball squad in October, 1943, he found that the legacy also left a problem of filling gaps left by the graduation of six senior members of the squad and the army induction of two others. From a crop of inexperienced athletes and new timber the Zebra mentor- carefully selected a team that carried school tradition through anothergsuccessful hardwood campaign in 1943-44, crushing a variety of highly touted com- petition including the heretofore unbeaten Central of South Bend Bears. Defeating many celebrated Northern Indiana competitors, the locals wound up their hardwood careers in the John Adams gymnasium at the hands of the tough John Adams cagers in the first round of regional play. The denounment of that story had been written the previous week- end, however, when the Rochesterites swept- the final game of the sec- tional tournament from their arch rivals, the Akron Fliers. Akronwas one of many Fulton and Pulaski county squads that intended.to'unseat the defending champs only to' falter in the pressure of the tourney. That particular victory meant the twenty-second sectional victory for Rochester in their basketball history, a record surpassed only by the Koko- mo Kats and paralleled by Logansport's Berries, The victory had another meaning too, a sort of farewell and tribute-the farewell to the senior members of the squad and the tribute to Rochester's one time stars now in the service of Uncle Sam. Not to be outdone by their elders, the Colts, Rochester's understudies also maneuvered through a successful season, cramming the year with a glorious chain of B team triumphs. The 1943-44 hardwood plaque etched, and with reverence to departing senior basketeers, hardwood his- tory prepares for an inscription of glory for the oncoming 1944-45 lum- marles.
