Tournament Milestones

Information from the 98-99 Frisco League Guide

Superintendents reorganize Frisco League and establish the Frisco League Tournament.

Dec.3 1957

Waynesville defeats Dixon 73 to 31 in the first Frisco League Tournament game.

Dec. 19, 1959

Bill Cooley seemingly could not miss a shot to pacing the Stoutland Tigers' scoring attack with 34 points in a 65-44 boys championship victory over Dixon at Crocker.

Dec. 1 1967

Dale Stanley scored 37 points in a 66 to 50 Licking win over Iberia in Frisco League Tournament semi-final action. This established a new game high in individual boys' scoring in the tournament.

Dec. 2, 1968

The Dixon Bulldogs scored 5 and a half points per minute in downing Stoutland 172 to 36 in opening round action of the Frisco Tourney. That team scoring record in the tournament is unlikely ever to be smashed. The Bulldogs went on to win the state championship that season in Class M competition.

Dec. 3, 1968

The next night, Randy Williams of Iberia broke Dale Stanley's Frisco League Tournament boys' scoring record by firing 41 points through the hoops in action agaist Richland.

Dec. 5, 1968

In what must have been the scoringest Frisco Torunament on record, Harvey Bechtel of Stoutland just two nights later broke Williams record by hitting for 43 points in a consolation game against Licking. This may be the tournament's individual boys' scoring record.
