About this Site:

Welcome to the ever growing website dedicated to the history of boys high school basketball in Crawford County and the surrounding areas. This site began several years ago on angelfire, but had to move due to growing to big for the free services offered there. It also began with solely information about the schools of Crawford County, but as that information became harder to collect, I began looking at adding the neighboring counties. Crawford and Wyandot County are complete, until I have the opportunity to work backwards some more. Next on the list will be Marion County. Future research will see Morrow, Richland, Seneca and Huron Counties follow.

About Me:

My name is Andrew Ebbeskotte and I am a 1993 graduate of Buckeye Central High School. I began researching BC’s basketball history while in high school and later in college. Upon graduation I began to research BC’s pre-consolidation school’s of Chatfield, New Washington and Tiro. After going back to the 1955/56 season I decided to start researching all of the county schools and the major project began.
