*The Port Washington Purple Riders predictably were knocked-off by the Mighty Tigers of Strasburg, 86-45, in the Riders' 1st Sectional Tournament game closing out a rather successful season. A Port Washinton team getting more than 10 wins in a single season is a rare pleasant result in Purpletown. The 1st string in 1966-67 all scored more than 170 points each. An extraordinary year for 1st year Head Coach Joe Lopez and his cargers and a great team on the floor for Port's last year as the Purple Riders. Port will merge with Gnadenhutten in 1968 as Indian Valley South. The above athlete's are: The Last Of The Purple Riders!!
