I am a 1980 grad of Holmes. Doug Schloemer was the best scorer of the basketball I have seen as far as high school goes. Dicky Beal was the best playmaker and game changer to play in the 9th region. I am sure Doug will tell you Dicky was the difference in Holmes run to the heartbreaking loss in 78. The 80 run was cut short due to the format and the late Friday night game against Ashaland, a fate that could upend Holmes again this year. Not complaining it is what it is and I would not change it. I would also throw Scott Draud and Jack Jennings in the mix. The second tier would include McKinley, Dawn and Dollman (sp) are a few more of my favorite players from the 9th region.
