IHSAA Tournament Games
Spirits ran high before the 1965-66 basketball season at Kokomo High School. The previous
year’s 18-8 mark included sectional and regional titles, but saw the ‘Cats lose to Fort Wayne North
Side in the semi-state, one of two setbacks to the Redskins that season. The Wildcat faithful
thought Kokomo had enough firepower in ’65-’66 to once again reach the heights of the 1961 state
champions.
Coach Les Ray, in his second year at the helm, saw the Wildcats open the season with four straight
wins. Included in those games was a sellout crowd at Memorial Gym when Kokomo played
Lebanon, a team that featured one of the greatest shooters in Indiana high school lore, Rick Mount.
Mount, who averaged 33.1 points per game in his junior and senior seasons at Lebanon, would
later that basketball season become the first high school athlete ever to grace the cover of Sports
Illustrated.
After those four victories to start the season, the ‘Cats hit a dry spell, losing games to Marion,
South Bend Central, and Fort Wayne North Side. Next up for Kokomo came a pair of holiday
tournament wins over Muncie Central and Logansport, the latter a 75-74 nailbiter.
Logansport turned the tables on the ‘Cats with 55-54 Berry victory, and then Kokomo put together
a five-game winning streak, recording victories over Fort Wayne Elmhurst, Frankfort, South Bend
St. Joe, Richmond, and Peru before stumbling in an 71-67 NCC matchup with Anderson. The
‘Cats had a nine-point lead over the Tribe at one point in the game.
After the loss to the Indians, Kokomo ran off wins over Muncie Central, Indianapolis Arsenal
Tech, Southport, and New Castle to finish the regular season with a four-game winning streak.
Tech would eventually make it to the state championship game in 1966.
The Wildkats literally blew away the sectional field with wins over Carroll (90-53), Northwestern
(74-46), and Sharpsville (123-70). The 123 points scored by Kokomo in that 1966 sectional
championship game still stands as the all-time single-game high.
Kokomo would easily defeat Manchester (76-48) and Huntington (69-51) to secure the regional
championship, but lost once again in the semi-state, this time falling to eventual state champion
Michigan City Elston.
Mark Gabriel, who was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001, was the leading
scorer for the 1965-66 Wildcats at 18.4 points per game while pulling down a whopping 16.5
rebounds per game. Other offensive stalwarts that averaged over ten points per game for this team
included Raleigh Grady (12.8) and Marty Edwards (11.3). Willard Rice and Larry Merriweather
contributed over seven points per game. The 1965-66 team finished with a 20-6 record.
