Re: Waterloo Wonder Throwback Game
That is really great, I hope and bet that they have a packed house.
Re: Waterloo Wonder Throwback Game
Wished the old gym was still there. Lol I was the last class to go all the way through

Those are nice! If someone could get a picture of the actual uniforms on game day that would be awesome.

The Moses's were my neighbors and played LL baseball with Tom and Rob. Roy helped my dad coach a couple years.OHHS old timer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 3:29 pm My hs chemistry teacher, Roy Moses, used to talk about the Waterloo boys and Bevo from Rio all the time.

Re: Waterloo Wonder Throwback Game
It is a shame it was torn down. In junior high we (Southwestern) played Waterloo. Got to play in that gym twice, 73-75.

Re: Waterloo Wonder Throwback Game
Being an avid historian of Portsmouth Trojans basketball, I think it's great that the Waterloo Wonders will be honored and not forgotten. They have a special place in the lore of SE district basketball and their legend should never be allowed to fade into oblivion.
Sad that the gym has been long gone........Portsmouth's old Grant Gym is gone also, which was where the 1961 state champion Trojans played their home games. Grant Gym's last year was the 1963-1964 season.

I was trying to think how many feeder schools there was for Portsmouth highschool.trojandave wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 11:32 am Being an avid historian of Portsmouth Trojans basketball, I think it's great that the Waterloo Wonders will be honored and not forgotten.

Re: Waterloo Wonder Throwback Game
Mr. Moses had an undefeated 8th grade bb team one year. He also taught physics...explaning centrifugal force by spinning a basketball on his fingers. His oldest son, Steve..aka "Big Fig" calls N. Carolina home.Raiderball wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:23 amThe Moses's were my neighbors and played LL baseball with Tom and Rob.

Re: Waterloo Wonder Throwback Game
BigBlueNation: I believe Grant Gym was torn down in the early 2000's to make room for the Elementary School. I used to be a substitute teacher at Grant in the early 80's. That gym just had a nostalgic look to it.......made you feel like you were back in the 50's. I wish I had seen the Trojans play there. I know people who told me of stories about the students sitting on the stage and shaking the basketball standard.

Wonders are on a tear right now. Should be a packed game tomorrow night.

Always hated Green. Never had much for them. School is practically in Kentucky and we need to get them out of the OHSAA

Re: 2/14 Green Bobcats vs. Waterloo Wonders
So should ironton, burg, Portsmouth and other schools along the Ohio River be taken out of the ohsaa
Re: 2/14 Green Bobcats vs. Waterloo Wonders
“Practically in KY”, except for that dang river separating them. Really???
Re: 2/14 Green Bobcats vs. Waterloo Wonders
Franklin Furnace is located on the narrowest portion of the river. Get your facts straight! Practically a creek there!
