'X-Leipsic sectional tournament SUMMARY OF SEASGN The outlook for the 1955-56 season was a bad one. We had lost three tall regulars of size in Vernier, McElroy, and Herrington and a good substitute in Raymond Johnson. Ned Wiley was declared inelaible. On top of all this we had scheduled our arch rivals, Lake high school, during the regular season. With green material and two regulars from last season in Captain Ace Cochran and Jay Gordon we started the season against the Alumni. We fought our way to 17 Wins our of 20 games for the entire season. At the end of our regular schedule we had a record of 13 wins against a single defeat and that at the hands of Toledo Libbey. In the finals of the food county tournament we were defeated by Tontoguny after winning a hair-raising affair from Lake high school 28-24 in the semi-finals, This game took all our strength for the finals held at nite

'HQES zyhnllx:5s2:tnnn..o:..'ShG' .. ' f-L,..N..k,..i' 'NUR , We had previously defeated Tentcgeny in mid season T'e grind of a long schedule and hard tournament play where we defeated West U itf in the opening round only t lose a hard fought game to Oakwood in the following game. Cakwood was Paulding county champs and boasted a record of 17 Wins against 4 defeats. Tue Golden Bears of 1935-56 established some records for future teams to shoot at. They were the highest scoring team ever to represent the school scoring 692 points for the season,- Captain nc9.Coclran with aztotal of'222 points, was the highest individual Scorer the school has ever had The team piled up the largest total ever recorded by a Purple and Gold squad when they ran up 70 points against Webster. The season's record of 17 wins against only 5 de- feats was the best ever boasted by a Walbridge five. Thgy were the first team ever to beat Luge high school twice in one season and the only team ever to whip our old rivals in tournament play. The Bears were the only team ever to reach the finals in Wood county tournaments and also the first outfit ever to represent us at the sectional tourn- ament at LnipuiC. Bob McCmmey, of course, was the first Walbridge player ever to be mentioned for an all tournament team at Leipsic. In addition to all these fine marks the team drew the largest crowd ever to see a basketball game in the high school gym. The crowd at the Lake-Walbridge game almost doubled any other single game held during the history of the institution. We lose three men this year in Captain Cochran, Bob Mc- Camey, and Clarence Mason. It will be tough to fill their shoes when next season rolls around but with four regulars and three subs returning the outlook for next season is Ii caused our usual smooth play to suffer in the Leipsic meet In H n 3 ' ' ' O very bright. Coach Turby spent the entire season with fundamentals. He expects to start next season where he left off and you can look forward to a small but fast and tricky quintet next year. The members of the team this year were: ' Forwards--Gordon, Wiley, J.D,Falco, L.Coc-ran. Centers---ace Cos rsn, Sherman. Guards ---- McCamey, Christensen, Mussd, BolCiK. Nov. 13---With only two regulars,Ace Cochran and Jay Gordon, in the lineup, a green Bear team met a tall and experienced Alumni squad. The Bear's high scoring machine was in full motion and we registered a decisive 49-21 win, Fans praised the fine passing of the entire scuad. f4!Nsz1ununcewxsoeuuumzsxsouuuux:1wsawnuuncgvszsnungy, fr 19345
