1930-31                                            Return to Year-by-Year                    HOME             Updated 11-11-2009

STATE CHAMPIONS  CLASS A: Newton   CLASS B: Buhler

                 TCHS started a more normal inter-scholastic schedule starting with the 1930-31 school year. Home games were played in a variety of places including Ripley Park, Roosevelt Jr. High and Crane Jr. High gymnasiums. Hayden coach was George Reid. Newspaper accounts of these games began to list box scores, but did not report much detail about the games. Rules of the era continued to contribute to low scoring. There was still a center jump after every made field goal.

                  One opponent, Christian Brothers of St. Joseph, MO, was guided by Coach Everett Shelton. He became a Hall of Fame coach in the NCAA. He won the national championship with Wyoming in 1943 and coached Henry Iba on an early AAU team. TCHS participated in a KSHSAA tournament for the first time during this season. I was recently told that there were only a limited amount of jerseys available on game day - sometimes the player coming out of the game had to give his jersey to the substitute.*

Still attempting to find out scores of games with Emmett  and individual scoring as noted above. Hayden yearbook (SHAMROCK) does not list the games with Emmett. The TDC & TSJ newspapers make reference to the dates and the fact that TCHS lost the games. That is the way it stands unless information becomes available at a future date.
