What year did the Bonner(sp) twins play? They looked like the Globe Trotters.

McKinley was 23-1 in 1976 with there only loss to Barberton.McKinley had the lead at Half time but the Magics shot out the lights in the 2nd half like I have never seen before.
McKinley was ranked #1 in the AP poll that year.
That Magics' team could certainly shoot! There was another pair of brothers who filled out the starting five; Harold and Fred Grisby. Who was on that Bulldog team? Sounds like there was plenty of talent on both sides of the court that evening!
You’re going to leave out Lima Central Catholic? 4 appearances and 3 state championships in the decade.With the basketball season getting under way, I'd like to look back a little bit! I am interested in who you would list as the teams of the decades. Help me fill in the schedule below! I've listed my ideas of schools and I have not included the 2010's since they aren't over yet! Now, before anyone jumps down my throat, let me stress 2 points: (1) I am NOT a high school basketball historian by ANY stretch of the imagination; and (2) my knowledge of basketball outside of NEO is pitiful! Given that, who would you include/exclude?
1950's (1)Middletown (2)Cleveland East Tech (3)Lockland Wayne
1960's (1)Middletown (2)Columbus East (3)Akron Central
1970's (1)Cincinnati Elder (2)Canton McKinley (3)Barberton
1980's (1)Canton McKinley (2)Central Hower (3)Wehrle

I hadn't listed any teams for the 2010's, yet. But I agree that Lima Catholic should be on that list. (Somewhere behind STVM)You’re going to leave out Lima Central Catholic? 4 appearances and 3 state championships in the decade.
Haha I apologize. 2010s had some great teams and matchups.I hadn't listed any teams for the 2010's, yet. But I agree that Lima Catholic should be on that list. (Somewhere behind STVM)
That is a fine and exclusive club. Thank you for not including that mercenary, private school that is located in Lakewood. They do not belong in this CHAMPIONSHIP group.I would suggest the teams of the 2010's decade: STVM, VASJ, Lima Central Catholic.
St. Eds?That is a fine and exclusive club. Thank you for not including that mercenary, private school that is located in Lakewood. They do not belong in this CHAMPIONSHIP group.
Typical Big Blue fan : )I’d give an honorable mention nod to Hamilton for the 1950’s (won state in ‘54, lost state in ‘51.) The “Big Blue” used to be a cage powerhouse.
Regarding the 1960’s: Columbus East was more dominant than Middletown.
One should not write nor say names like that for it is not righteous for your soul. They were NOT GOOD ENOUGH to make the club let alone the conversation.St. Eds?
Wow you sure told themOne should not write nor say names like that for it is not righteous for your soul. They were NOT GOOD ENOUGH to make the club let alone the conversation.

What was that league that Middletown, Hamilton, I think Lima and maybe Springfield were in?I’d give an honorable mention nod to Hamilton for the 1950’s (won state in ‘54, lost state in ‘51.) The “Big Blue” used to be a cage powerhouse.

?. That’s nearly impossible when you put a college team against a high school team !Who Cares? It is whatever it is.... BEAT EM!
VASJ is winning D4 titles, they would not compete vs D1 teams that is for sure, VASJ has lost 14 in a row to Ed's so you might beat up the little sisters of the poor you don't win vs the big teams from D1. Back in the day at least you competed in D1 most of your recent titles are D4 I believe when you moved up to D3 and D2 you haven't won anything. Can you imagine if some D1 teams got to move down and play D4 teams? They would win it every year.That is a fine and exclusive club.
