Description: From 1943 through 1971, every public high school in Wisconsin played in a single basketball tournament and only one team could claim the title of "State Champion." During those years the goal of teams in the northwestern part of the state was to reach the Spooner sectional and from there, hopefully, the state tournament in Madison. In the 1940s it was Carl Vergamini's Hurley dynasty challenged by Roy Melvin's Ashland juggernaut. Superior Central was king in the 1950s followed by the Rice Lake and Eau Claire Memorial powerhouses of the '60s. Brief moments of glory were claimed by the Cinderella teams from St. Croix Falls, Rib Lake, Drummond, and Frederic. It's all here, the players, the coaches, the teams, and the dreams. Get ready for 29 years of the best of Northern Wisconsin basketball.
