Memories still fresh of coach Jack Tosh

Jim Doner and Mike Vories weren’t familiar with their first-year coach Jack Tosh when the 1967-68 basketball season started at DeKalb High School.

But by the end of the year, they both knew he was the right man for the job. 

“He was a good man and he was fun to play for,” Vories said. “He wasn’t a real screamer or anything, unless it had to be done. He was a fun guy to be around and really enjoyed life.”
