    The First Indiana High School Basketball Tournament Champions 1911 Crawfordsville High School by S

    The First Indiana High School Basketball Tournament Champions 1911 Crawfordsville High School By S. Chandler Lighty In 1936, Dr. James Naismith, basketball’s inventor, attended the Indiana high school championship game between Frankfort and Fort Wayne Central. In his first exposure to Hoosier Hysteria, he recalled that the sight of the stadium “packed with fifteen thousand people, gave me a thrill I shall not soon forget.” During his visit, Naismith told an Indianapolis audience: “Basketball really had its beginning in Indiana which remains today the center of the sport.” Expanding upon this comment, Naismith associated Indiana’s national distinction in basketball with the popularity and success of the state high school basketball tournament.1 The Indiana high school basketball tournament began in 1911, when Crawfordsville High School (C.H.S.) defeated Lebanon High School for the state title. Yet, the history of the tournament and the first champion really began earlier. This article provides an historical examination of the first Indiana high school basketball champions’ season, and the beginning of one of Indiana’s most cherished cultural traditions. Crawfordsville High School won the first Indiana high school basketball tournament in 1911. The team included [front] Hugh “Buddy” Miller, [second row, starting on left] Carroll Stevenson, Orville Taylor, Captain Clio Shaw, Ben “Chick” Myers, Isaac “Newt” Hill, [back row] Coach David Glascock, and Grady Chadwick. Image source: https://sites.google.com/ site/wabashavenue/history In 1900, C.H.S. organized one of the earliest high school basketball teams in Indiana. Unfortunately, finding opponents in the nascent years of the sport in the Hoosier state often proved difficult.
