1975/76 Adena. Led by the great Cindy Noble, also Ruth Ann Ater and Mary Beth Speakman. They went unbeaten and won the first OHSAA girls tournament in Class A (only 3 divisions then: A, AA, AAA). Actually, in 3 years they NEVER lost a varsity contest, but there were no season ending tournaments in 1...

Basketball: Neil Johnston. Was like a 6 or 7 time All Star in the NBA. Also, led the league in scoring 3 or 4 times. 1940-something Chillicothe Alum. Football: Elbie Nickel. Multiple All Pro Olineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Was named to their 75th anniversary alltime team a few years ago. Also ...

Said a while back, scoring 1K points in High School basketball is still a great accomplishment and the ultimate measuring stick if a consistent "scorer"...however its just not as rare as it once was. And, as a result, career scoring records at schools (both boys and girls) are dropping lik...

The '86 and '87 state Final 4 was at UD Arena...not Hara.

John was a 1956 Chillicothe graduate and went on to play baseball and football at the University of Michigan. Despite many outstanding statistical games at fullback for the Wolverines, multiple injuries ended his football career in his 3rd game in 1958. However, John would play baseball at Michigan ...

Ed was a 1906 or '07 Chillicothe graduate, and a 1910 graduate of Cornell. He won the Gold Medal in the pole vault at the 1908 Olympics in London...impressive.

Neil was a 1946 Chillicothe Alum, and attended Ohio State where he starred in baseball and basketball. He signed a pro contract with the Phillies out of college where he pursued the sport for just over 2 years. Following a tryout in 1951, Neil joined the Philadelphia Warriors of the NBA. He led the ...

Believe Elbie was a 1940 or '41 Chillicothe Alum, when his post High School education was put on hold due to World War II. He starred in football, basketball, and baseball at the University of Cincinnati and was drafted in 1947 by the Pittsburgh Steelers where he had an 11 year career. Elbie was a 3...

You are welcome. Seriously believe the list is FAR from complete. Imo, some of the more glaring omissions include players from: McClain, Miami Trace, Hillsboro, Circleville, Westfall and Washington Court House. Via many Google searches on the 'Net, these schools simply have nothing compiled for thei...

Not trying to be picky, but Carvel Simmons and Ron Storer scored ALL their points for Frankfort, not Adena. And, Veris is credited with 961 career points for Chilly according the the now defunct Ross Co. BKB website (very accurate imo). However, great job and an endless amount of work/research goes ...

Neil Johnston...1028 points.

Gordon Mickey scored 1241 points in his career as a Cav, he also had 978 career rebounds...was a 1958 Alum. The aforementioned Mark Bayless fell just shy of the 1000 point barrier with 971 for his career.

And... Veris did not eclipse 1000 points (961). He is however credited with being the school's leading career rebounder with 1028 caroms...1981 Alum.

Also, add Wayne Stevens to the list of Chilly career 1000 point scorers...1161 career points, 1954 Alum.

Anthony "Humpty" Hitchens was a 2008 grad, Garin Veris '80 or '81, Mark Bayless '73 or '74, Neil Johnston 1946, Gordon Mickey '58 or '59.

Attaining this info may be tough. Not sure what kind of archives one will find regarding the 1000 point club at Chilly. Certainly Humpty, Garin Veris, maybe Bayless and a few others. Don't want to count out Gordon Mickey and Neil Johnston either. Mickey played his college career at Indiana, Johnston...

Excellent job compiling a list this extensive. Always interesting in alot of ways when browsing through these. Personally what's most obvious anymore are the number of players achieving the 1000 point barrier, and the frequency in which it is occurring. Increasing regular season to 22 games, less re...

Correct Rosscoresident, most of the Buckskin kids ended up at McCain. However, some also went to Adena. The final graduating class at the school was 1965 (tons of consolidation was happening then). The building still sits in the small village of South Salem, right on the Ross and Highland county bor...

Password please...

That photo is an excellent example 4thgoal, and exactly what came to mind when trying to describe it. Looks to be circa 1920's/1930's. And we think fans can get a bit rowdy at times now...
