The Starnmen made it to the Final Four before losing in double overtime to Columbus North, the State champions; and Earl Thomas was unanimously selected first-team All-Ohio. It was the farthest any AHS team has ever advanced. Thomas scored 205 points, and Chuck Morrison (105 pts) and Raymond “Nick” Dolby (104 pts) were all first-team NCO honorees. Sub Grant Clark had the best shooting average 57 percent, and Charles Campbell started the first nine games before his mid-year graduation. Their 19-wins was the school record until 1948. The “lucky” Red Lantern followed the team to State and remained a rivalry trophy with Mansfield until 1936. |
