1937 Melrose Shamrocks: The Championship Season | |||
“They can only put five out there at one time.
|
|||
|
The story of the 1937 Melrose High School basketball
team is the story of how David beat Goliath. In
telling this story, this independent study describes the team and its
coach, the rules of basketball throughout its history, the team’s amazing
season, the history of the State Tournament, and how the championship
affected the tiny town of Melrose. Along
the way, there are plenty of laughs as the small-town team struggled to
win a championship during the Depression. With
420 people in the town of Melrose in 1937, and 66 students enrolled in the
school, Melrose took on the big schools and won.
