Need Help From Some Oldsters

[Mustang]

Our good buddy, Eugene "Puck" Puckett from Paris High School is doing a study on the history of 10th Region Basketball.

 

It seems that from 1932 to 1936 there were only 8 regions in the State of Kentucky.

In 1937 the state moved to the current 16 region system. The following Northern Kentucky High Schools were then designated as 10th Region schools.

 

What Puck wants to know is what were their colors and what were their mascots?

 

A.J. Jolly - Jolly Rogers - Colors?

Alexandria - Mascot - Colors?

Burlington - Tomcats - Colors?

Cold Spring - Mascot - Colors?

Covington - Mascot - Colors?

Crescent Springs - Mascot - Colors?

Hebron - Mascot - Colors?

Independence - Trappers - Colors?

St. James - Mascot - Colors

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Starting in 1932, there were 16 regions across the state.

There were 8 regions from 1928-1931.

There were 6 regions in 1927.

From 1922-1926 there were 16 to 18 regions.

 

Things started changing with the introduction of class basketball in 1927...which lasted until 1933.

 

If you will private message me your address, I will send a copy of the KHSAA files that includes when each school joined the association, where it was, nickname, school colors, etc.

I have no idea, but I hope somebody can provide the answers. I don't know Puck, but this sounds awesome. Let us know when it's finished, I'd be interested in buying a copy of a book (assuming it's published). :thumb:

Pretty sure Hebron was the Cardinals

This book would likely be a great resource.

Kenton County Library has the book. If no one gets the info before tomorrow I'll try to look it up and send the information requested.

I have the book right here - unfortunately, it does not have the information he is seeking for these schools.

I asked my Dad about some of the Boone County schools. He told me that he thought Burlington were the Eagles (you have them listed as Tomcats) colors of blue,white and gold. Hebron was the Cardinals colors red and white.

Thanks!!! I was in Canada when Puck called in the request and I was jotting the info on paper towels, so I may have gotten it wrong.

Thanks for the info, we appreciate it.

Info on the way, guys.

Not a problem. I have been collecting and organizing this kind of information for forty years...and I still have to look stuff up occasionally.

Extremely interesting. Thanks.

My dad said the same. Burlington Eagles - blue and white.

Hebron Cardinals - red and white.
