Alright, so, I was digging around the internet the other day, trying to find some cool old sports stories, you know, the kind that makes you feel all nostalgic and stuff. That’s when I stumbled upon this gem: the 1964 Bishop DuBourg High School basketball team. I’d heard the name “Bishop DuBourg” before but never really knew much about them.
First, I started looking for some general info about the school. Turns out, Bishop DuBourg High School is this Catholic school in St. Louis, Missouri. They’ve got a pretty solid reputation, it seems. They are an above average, private school. I was curious about their history, but I couldn’t find much about their early days.
Then I moved on to searching about high school sports in Missouri. That’s when I discovered this organization called MSHSAA – Missouri State High School Activities Association. It sounds like a big deal for high school sports, promoting teamwork and sportsmanship, that sort of thing. I made a mental note to look more into MSHSAA later; it seemed like they might have some records of past championships.
- Looked up Bishop DuBourg High School.
- Found out about MSHSAA.
- Got interested in the 1964 basketball team.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. I tried to find anything I could about the 1964 Bishop DuBourg basketball team specifically. I searched all over, but information was scarce. I couldn’t find any old newspaper articles or specific mentions of the championship game. It was like the details had been lost to time. Disappointing, to say the least.
I thought maybe I could find someone who was around back then, someone who might remember the team or have some old photos. I looked at local community forums in St. Louis using craigslist, hoping to connect with someone who might have attended Bishop DuBourg in the ’60s. I even browsed some local obituaries on *, thinking maybe a former player or coach might have passed away and their obituary could have some clues. I know, it sounds a bit morbid, but I was really invested in this by now.
I found a few people talking about class reunions for Bishop DuBourg, and I considered reaching out to see if they had any yearbooks or memorabilia from 1964. There were some contact details and messages about planning the reunion. It seems like a long shot, but it might be worth a try.
I imagined finding an old team photo, maybe even some stats from the championship game. The thought of uncovering this forgotten piece of sports history was really exciting. I could just picture that old photo, a bunch of young guys in their basketball uniforms, proudly holding the championship trophy.
My Next Steps
So, that’s where I’m at now. I haven’t found the championship proof yet, but I’m not giving up. My next step is to try and contact those folks planning the Bishop DuBourg reunions. I also want to dig deeper into the MSHSAA website; maybe they have some archived records that I missed. And who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky and find someone on those community forums who remembers the 1964 team. It is a long journey, but I am not going to give up. I will keep trying to find more information about this.
It’s like a little historical mystery, and I’m determined to solve it. I’ll keep you guys updated if I find anything cool. Wish me luck!
