50 years ago on January 31, February 1 and Feb 3, 1972 the Ruskin, Nebraska Lion's Club hosted their 6th Annual Jr Hi Basketball tournament. I wasn't involved but my two brothers-in-law were on one of the teams that competed and as a result my late mother-in-law, Rosa Deterding Calahan attended, got a program for the event, then carefully saved it so I could share it on the Nuckolls County Historical Society Website. The program not only listed the rosters of the 6 Junior High teams that participated but also names the coaches and cheerleaders for each school. The schools in the tournament in 1972 were the Shickley Longhorns, the Nelson Tigers, the Ruskin Indians, the Hardy Dragons, the Davenport Tigers and the Carleton Warriors. Below are the scanned pages of the program. I've been thinking of having a prize for the first person who was listed in the program who contacts me, but I'm still thinking of an appropriate prize.
