First row, left to right. Cleo Rhoades, Allan Punkar, Tom Kantola, ('lair Bunnell, Ted Hirsimaki, Jerry Puffer. Second row, left to right. Charles Hirshey, coach; Rob Puffer, Richard Olson, Frank Fogg, Dick Chambers. Clarence Kennedy. Basketball With but one returning: letterman back in action, Mr. Hirshey and a very determined but inexperienced group of cagers battled their way to a fifth place tie in the county league play. Upon completion of their league play our Rowe Vikings weathered four tough foes to capture tohe County Tournament at Jefferson. This marked the third straight year the Blue and Gold have come through as tourney champs. The three previous years the Rowe Vikings had taken the league title as champs thus stands as the number of years in succession our Rowe squads have brought home a title in either league or tournament play. The Rowe Vikings saw Rich Olson, Tom Kantola, and Jerry and Robbie Puffer all win recognition in the Ashtabula County Tournament and in the Sectional Tournament. Robbie, a guard of the past four years, was given the highest honor possible, that of Captain of the Ashtabula County All-Star Team. Jerry was given honorable mention as a forward. Dick Olson and Robbie Puffer made the Edgewood Sectional Second Team with Tommy (hustler) Kantola gaining an honorable mention spot. A big feature of Rowe’s play was a man-for-man defense. It was first used to good effect in the Spencer game on the first of February. All games except the last were played by the Vikings, with such defense. Never before had Coach Hirshey called upon it for consistent use. With only two boys absent at the start of the next year Rowe will have all kinds of experience and a victorious year is expected.
