HIGH The Junior High basketball team had a below average season during 1949-50 with seven wins and twelve losses. Most of the losses were very close with the loss resulting from the lack of ability to score consistently. Defensively the team functioned well with only three teams able to score twenty-seven or more points against them. The starting lineup usually included Tom Burnau, Ronnie Hoopingarner, Don Carl, Roger Norris and Phil Hoopingarner or Jim Bunsold. In addition, Ronnie Grim and Jerry Quackenbush saw considerable action. The Seventh Graders showed considerable promise by defeating Bluffton's seventh graders twice by scores of twenty-six to fourteen and twenty-seven to nineteen. In addition Lancaster's seventh was beaten thirty-four to eight. Most of the action was seen by Larry Burgess, Jerry Quackenbush, Dave Reavis, Larry Corell, Jerry Corell and Joe Hanauer. The 1949-50 Junior High free throw trophy was won by Roger Norris with a pitching percentage of .533 with Joe Hanauer close behind with .500.

The team got off to a good start and won all of their games, but just couldnit seem to get past Petroleum. Petroleum seemed to be the only team able to stop the Badgers in the regular season schedule. In the county tournament the four teams that were top in the county had a drawing for the playoffs, Union drew Petroleum and were defeated by a on-e run margin in a hard fought ballgame.
