Mennonites can’t dunk

(except when baptism in an MB church is involved)

The 1950–1951 Grafton High Gophers did not have the best of records, but we remember them just the same as a part of our family history.

Carl (43) was a senior and Wayne (25) a freshman on that season’s eight-man squad. They played home games in the gym located in the basement of the high school building pictured below. The court was small, and some of the walls were dangerously close to the out-of-bounds lines. The tight playing quarters were matched nicely by tight uniforms, which were the sporting style of the day—and that’s all I got to say about that!
