It should be mentioned that two boys from Vaughnsville made both the all-county team and the all star district team, namely center, Paul Jackson and forward, Chuck Myers. WE WILL NEVER FORGET Paul'8 very good rebounding that really helped us get through the season and the tournament. Chuck's shooting.ability which amounted to 638 points for the season and now stands as the second highest record in Ohio. Wendell's skill in dropping in a long whenever most needed. Bob's drive and good passing which saved many a game. Ray's scrap and all around ability for as young as he was. Sam's rough and tumble methods that gave many a good man all the trouble and bruises that he wanted. Together this bunch of boys, with the help of the subs, gave Vaughnsville one of their most wonderful seasons.
