By a Staff Writer
You may call it coincidental, or a deliberate geographical twist,
but The Frontier’s all-Holt county high school basketball team for
the 1953-’54 season finds players from eight of the county’s nine
prep schools represented. Moreover, no particular school walked
off with honors, eight of the nine institutions landing one each on
the eight-member mythical team
St. Mary’s academy (O’Neill) failed to land a single berth. All
I other schools placed cr.e each, regardless of size and regardless of
| the success (or lack of it) in the current season.
_____
There were two unanimous
choices for berths on this sea
son's dream team—Larry Heiss
of Page and Don Gokie of St.
Joseph's hall (Atkinson).
Heiss, the fair-headed 16-year-:
old Page senior, accumulated £,
round total of 500 points during \
the season. He fired the Page!
team to the class D title at I
Brunswick and staged a whale
of a performance (32 points) in ;
the playoff against Elba for the
state tourney ticket.
Coach Don DeCosta of Stuart
sized up Heiss in a few brief j
words. He wrrote: “Heiss, in my j
opinion, is the outstanding play-'
er in the area.”
All of the coaches and officials
participating in the balloting
marked an “X” for St. Joe’s dur
able Mr. Gokie, and most of
them offered words of praise,
i Gokie captained the Bluejays
! through the 1953 - ’54 season,
which netted the Holt county
championship and district class
C laurels. (The Josies lost to
Hartington high in the state
tourney elimination bid.)
Gokie is a good rebounder,
shoots with either hand, ranks
as one of the best dribblers in
the state and was no slouch in
the scoring department. Clar
ence Schmit and Walter Ries,
fellow Jays, also proved popular
in the voting.
Larry Chace of O'Neill high.
Don Kelley of Inman. Dennis
Brewster of Stuart and Fred
Dobrovolny of Atkinson high
were near-unanimous choices,
each lacking only one or two
ballots from making it a lanci
slide.
Chace breezed along at about
25 points per game and, except
for two or three chilly occasions,
ne displayed rare marksmanship
ability. And when he was “coid”
from the field, he usually com
pensated for it at the freethicw
lane. Chace benefitted by a lot
of feeding and screening but his
point production never changed
much and always was good.
The Inman Tigers seldom have
sported a player in the class of
Don Kelley. Unfortunately, the
other posts weren’t better staffed
because five of ’em would make
any coach’s dreams come true.
In one crucial game this season,
Mr. Kelley slammed in 42 points.
The Inman hot-shot showed fine
ability and one of two of the
ballots predicted bright things
for Kelley next season. He is a
junior.
Atkinson’s Fred Dobrovolny a
long-geared guy with a thatch
of curls, was a smooth operator
on the hardwood, using his
height to advantage. He -was
pressed in the balloting by Ken
Huston (the two played toe
same kind of ball) and also by
Gary Small, another teammate.
The Balers started the season
hot and then cooled, but Doorc
volny stayed consistent, having
good tourney showings.
Dennis Brewster led the Stu
art Bronco’s scoring attack with
a total of 333 points in 24 games
—which figures 14 per. He was
Stuart’s most consistent re
bounder off both boards. The
Broncos moved uphill all season,
became the surprise team in the
class C tourney, and Brewster
deserves a big hunk of credit.
Dick Shald, Brewster’s team
mate, ran strong in the balloting
and succeeded in making the
voting mighty tough. He cap
tained the Stuart team and av
eraged 10 points per game. Shald
proved to be a clutch player.
Walter Hand, Ewing’s tall boy,
was a steady performer, deliver
ing about 12 points per game.
The Tigers were well-balanced
this season and the race be
tween Hand and Marvin Carl
was a tossup. Both are junio.-s.
Hand was given the nod as a
center.
Gene Adams was the only
holdover on the Chambers high
Coyotes’ team, and easily stood
out. Chambers faced very few
Holt county teams, but coaches
and officials were generally
agreed that Mr. Adams could
play on anybody’s team. No oth
er Chambers players received
even a mention.
The only school failing to land
a berth — St. Mary’s academy —
had a long, hard season in which
victories were few and far be
tween. Terry Wanser, a junior,
picked up several votes; also
Duane Weier, center, and Dick
Graham, guard. Weier and Gra
ham are seniors.
As usual landing a berth on
the all-Holt team is accompanied
by newspaper and radio public
ity and nothing else.
There’d be few sleepless
nights, however, for any prep
coach who awakened one day to
find this dream crew ready to
check out scanties for a season s
go.
