As part of an ongoing project to capture the final rounds history of the
Michigan High School Boys basketball tournament,
I am looking for information.

I’ll use the 1988 season as an example to illustrate what I’m after. As you can see, we have gathered complete information on the SF and final rounds. However, the coach of the losing team in the QF round (and one win-loss record) is absent.

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
C	88	QF	Roscommon	82	Houghton	45	Ted Thomas	23-5
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
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 missing information. In each case, I am looking for:

a) The name of the head coach for each of these 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

The list is arranged in a manner to allow you to cut and paste the information into your documents or e-mails. In addition, feel free to insert this data into newspaper articles, team programs, and newsletters.

Please be patient...due to the size and format of the file, this will take a minute to download.

Many thanks for your assistance!!!
