MHSAA Boys basketball Tournament

Michigan High School Boys basketball tournament

For each of the teams listed below, we are missing the name of the head coach and/or the team's final win loss mark.

Can you help us fill in the blanks?

As part of a larger project, we are assembling detail on the final rounds of the

Michigan High School Boys basketball tournament.

To date, we have gathered a large amount of information on the quarterfinal, semifinal and final rounds of the annual state tourney.

To illustrate, I'll use details from Class C of the 1988 tournament as an example of what I’m after. As you can see, we have gathered a number of details. However, in this example, we're still missing the coach of the losing team for three of the teams defeated in the quarterfinals as well as the win-loss for Grandville Calvin Christian. We're trying to fill in those blanks.

Class	Year	Round	Winning Team	Score	Losing Team	Score	Winning Coach	W-L	Losing Coach	W-L
C	88	QF	Dundee	69	Unionville-Sebewaing	58	Ernie Sellers	23-2		18-7
C	88	QF	Roscommon	82	Houghton	45	Ted Thomas	23-5		23-2
C	88	QF	Saginaw Nouvel	80	Grandville Calvin Chr.	76	Jim Carideo	25-3
C	88	QF	Three Oaks River Valley	48	Concord	44	Jerry Schaffer	25-2	Bob Urschalitz	18-7
C	88	SF	Roscommon	71	Dundee	65	Ted Thomas	23-5	Ernie Sellers	23-2
C	88	SF	Saginaw Nouvel	60	River Valley	50	Jim Carideo	25-3	Jerry Schaffer	25-2
C	88	F	Saginaw Nouvel	68	Roscommon	54	Jim Carideo	25-3	Ted Thomas	23-5

Below is a list of teams that have qualified for the finals rounds of the MHSAA-sponsored tournaments where we are still missing information. In each case, we are looking for:

a) The name of the head coach for the teams
b) The team’s season-ending Win-Loss record.

This list shows:

1) Name of the High school team

2) The qualifying round that they achieved:

QF – Quarterfinalist

SF – Semi-finalist

F – Finalist

3) The year they qualified.

(Note that the year “72” represents the 1971-72 school year. The year “02” represents the 2001-02 season. Tournament games were played in the spring of the year listed.)

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please send any information that you have to
