Eatonville’s Fabulous 1952 Basketball Team

Here’s a glimpse at the 1952 Eatonville basketball team, thanks you Dick Logston.

Eatonville is battling Lake Stevens at the semi finals. Eatonville would go on to win their place at state by one point. (Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be so lucky against Monroe at the state finals.)

Dick (#82) says he played the game with the measles and had to be taken home by Dr. Nevitt afterwards. No. 85 in the white is Jim Delgianni and the guy in the background in white is Mickey Morrow. Other starters that night were Ernie Jones and Albert Wehmhoefer and coach Ernie Cope is probably off to the side having a mild nervous breakdown as his boys fight their way to state.

Thank you Dick for the photo and information.
