Off topic, but related to Indiana HS basketball. 25-30 years ago, my wife (then girlfriend) told me about an old guy in the nursing home she worked in. His name was Mr. Moore. He was in his 90's at that time, and in great health, but his wife was there and he moved in with her to take care of her.
Anyway, he was at the first championship game in 1911. He told me how he got there, and got in, I guess it was packed. I've forgotten many of the details. He was also the coach at Peru HS and before that Frankfort, where he gave a legendary coach his first coaching job as his assistant. The assistant was Everett Case and he won 4 championships at Frankfort before a legendary career in the ACC at NC State.
He said he coached against Wooden when Wooden played for Martinsville, and Wooden was a hot head with a temper, but a great player.
