MIlan's 1954 team, I was there!
editHi, I'm Jim McLeaster and I covered the Indians in the tournament for the Lawrenceburg Press. I was also the sports editor of the Lawrenceburg Consolidate High School newspaper and yearbook. I was at the homecoming parade when the Indians arrived in Milan the next day. I also covered there awards banquet.
My byline in the L'burg Press was "The Bucket Brigade" by Jim McLeaster. My newspaper articles for the press covered my last three years of high school,(from 51 to 54). They will be donated to the Lawrenceburg Library hopefully sometime this summer. My coverage of basketball was pretty extensive as I had information on all the surrounding schools and even did a little with the collages.
I did some articles on Rio Grand College when Bevo Francis was lighting it up and got to watch him play in the Cincinnati Gardens.
As I went off to attend Indiana University I became friends with a graduate of Crispus Attucks and was able to watch them win the 1955 and 1956 championships.
Anytime I watch the movie Hoosiers or read about the Milan Indians or Crispus Attucks the hair stands up on the back of my neck.
Unfortunalely I am a Hoosier who is now stuck in Buckeye land. GO BUCKS!

Ryan Chart MVP?
editHow is that possible? Plump was Mr. Basketball and Chart did not even play in the final. Needs citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.98.110 (talk) 00:23, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
