Best team of all time in Class B

[BB11]

We've covered a lot about this year - but who is the best Class B team ever?

[Indians Alumni]

I would have to say teams from the 80's and 90's would be up there.  It just seems that competition then was better.  IMO

I agree - I was thinking the MPCG team of the 97 season. But I didn't want to sound like I was jumping on the MPCG bandwagon - but those guys were unbelievable.

How about one of the Newburg, Hillsboro, Linton teams of the 80's??

Linton vs Newburg turned out to be quit the rival. Meeting up in back-2-back state title games.

I think when PBS did their documentary on the B in the late 90s LaMoue Loboes of 1976 won state by the most combined points in history...which would lend considerable arguement as to who most dominated the State B tourney.

i'm not 100 percent certain....but did they have a game that was closer then 25...i dont believe they did

[munson11]

The trophy that they (1976) won has all of the scores from all of the games that year engraved onto it, I'll have to check it out tomorrow to see who the closest game was.

That trophy is freakin HUGE! I never realized they were so large back then. It takes up nearly half of that trophy case :P

Hey baller01:  Those were the good ole days!  Remember the homer hankies during those years??  I still have them tuck away somewhere.

That was my birthday present from my father.  He would get me out of school and take me to the State Class B Basketball tournament.  I must have been 10-11 years old.  We used to eat at Happy Joes.  Dad always said that Thursday was the best day to attend the tourney because everyone was there to play their best game.

97 mpcg team would beat them by 20 easily.  i heard that stat also.  the '97    1-3-1 trap would of caused 5 TOs by half tho...

[thundastruck.]

That team doesnt even come close to the 97 team, or the 96 team, or maybe even the 95 team that didnt even win it all (That tournament was STACKED!). Just no comparison of athleticism, height, skill level, and not to mention the level of competition that they played. Kraft was comming of the bench as a Soph even. He would have been the leading scorer for every other team in the state and he couldnt even crack the starting lineup (if i remember right).

Craig Nelson as I've stated before is the best point guard I've seen in Class B basketball ever. However - he had a little over 30 turnovers his senior year - about an average of 1 per game - which is still EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE considering the ball was in his hands 75% of the time. His junior year - I believe he averaged less than one per game.
That was a great team - and Craig along with Travis Kraft were two kids that should have won Mr. Basketball in their respective years.

That Edinburg team was pretty dominate in the tourney...  I think it was '88.  Correct me if I am wrong, and Guldseth was an absolute man among boys.
