The winter of 1995 was a special time for members of the Winfield and Mt. Union communities, as the Wolves captured a boys and girls basketball state title and those teams will be honored next month.
A 25th Anniversary celebration will be in conjunction with Alumni night on Friday, January 10th during WMU’s home doubleheader against Mediapolis. All players, coaches, and families of the 1995 teams are invited back and asked to contact Brooke McArtor at the school if they plan to attend. That year was the first basketball title for both programs. After making an appearance at the state tournament in each season from 1991-94, the boys finally got over the championship hump in ‘95 for their first and only title to date. This started a two-year run for the girls, as they repeated as class 1A champs in 1996.
The girls’ game will get underway at 6 p.m. on January 10th with festivities throughout the evening.
