Port Washington High School (Purple Riders) Basketball Head Coach - George Thomas. Had been Assistant Basketball Coach for the past 3 years under the guidanceof departing Coach Donald E. Durham. (Wheeling Cental High School and Marshall University of Huntington both in West Virginia and a A Korean War Combat Veteran) 6-12
TEAM - Port appears to be in a continuing state of "rebuilding" year after year with the exception of 1956-57. Coach George Thomas was in a unique position of knowing the ins and outs of the basketball program, as well as the personnel, at Port for the last 3 years. Coach Thomas starts out the season with 3 returning lettermen in Leonard Cameron (181 Points), Bob Casteel (121 Points) and Roger Lewis 76 Points). Looking forward to one of the two positions left were Senior Dan Gay (brother of last year's All-County Team, Ken Gay), Senior Richard Fillman, Senior Dick West, Junior Greg Bender, Junior Bill Dumermuth and Sophomore Jerry Stephens.
SEASON - Port started off like most years, on the losing end of the first 2 games with a revitalized Stone Creek team 65-57 and Mighty Midvale 90-54. The next 2 games puts Port in the win column by picking on winless Baltic 74-63 and getting by Gnaden in overtime 87-84. The Riders lose two more games, this time against the Terrific Tigers of Strasburg 82-62 after a thumping from Tuscarawas 61-46. The team picks up a close one at Madison 63-61 and then hits a wall, losingthe next 5 staight games and headed for another colorless season. The Tuscarawas County Tournament had been abandoned this year in favor of all teams going staight into the Sectional Tournament. Port's 1st Sectional Tournament game is a hard fought and heartbreaking loss to the Malvern Green Hornets 48-45 and ends Port Washington's year at 2-6 in league play and 6-12 for the season.
HIGHLIGHT - A win over Port Washington's top rival Gnadenhutten in overtime 87-84; although, Gnaden gets revenge not only in a league game 70-69 later in the season, but in Port's 1st Holiday Tournament game 80-67. Leonard Cameron voted to the Tuscarawas All-County Team and Dan Gay voted Port Washington's Most Valuable Player. Port Washington hosted their 1st Holiday Basketball Tournament successfully in late December. As well as the Port Washington Purple Riders' great bid in a losing cause in the Sectional Tournament game.
