Basketball season West Salem’s basketball team entered its 1945-’46 season with a record of fourteen wins and seven defeats. The team dropped games to Holmen, Galesville, Central, Viroqua, Bangor and Melrose—all teams which they had defeated sometime during the season. This is just an example of what kind of competition that was to be found in the Coulee Conference this year. The winners of the conference, Holmen and Galesville (cochampions), each had been beaten th ree times. Both of these teams were beaten by Salem. West Salem ended up in second place in the conference this year. They had 10 wins and four defeats. The team was coached during the 1945-’46 season by Principal C. E. Kopp. After Mr. Glasrud left for the navy, Mr. Kopp took over the coaching duties. In the twenty-one games played, the Salem lads piled up 697 points against their opponents’ 572. The team this year was composed of three seniors: Freeman Newburg, who piled up a grand total of 298 points in 21 games; Russel Dovenberg, who played the forward position; and Donald Diekroeger, who played guard and captained the team during the year. Four Juniors, big Roland Groth, who held down the center position; Don Cassel, who played the other guard poscition; Harry Caulum, who shifted from forward and the guard positions, and Earl Carlson who also played guard, represented their class. Two Sophomores, Sidney Syvertson and Gene Rhodes, saw action in several games.
