The A’s won their 6th co-championship of the nine NCO titles. In the District they suffered their third loss of the season to Mansfield. All five starters were recognized on the all-NCO team as the team’s balance showed in their scoring totals. First team Whitey Semple (118), 2nd team Phil Stentz (171), and honorable mentions were Bud Prentice (148), Chuck Bartley (139), and Jim Shull (93). The co-champs Marion Harding, the largest school in the NCO, had become the A’s second nemesis with their infamous Steam Shovel gym and their outstanding coach Dewey Bohyer, who coached 7 NCO titles. Plus, it was the longest trip in the league, and they usually stopped in Galion to eat at the popular Carmel’s Restaurant. |
