1949-50 Neenah Bluejackets (WSBL)

1949-50 NEENAH BLUEJACKETS

Vern Wollerman

WISCONSIN STATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE

1st Half: 6-6, .500, T-3rd Place

2nd Half: 5-7, .417, T-4th place

With a largely revamped roster, the Bluejackets failed to repeat their success from the prior season, falling short of a winning record in either half. Chuck Shepard lead the team with 14 points per game. Following the last game of the season, the Bluejackets announced they were leaving the league.

On February 23, 1950, Neenah didn't have enough players and pulled a couple local players in attendance, Jerry Schmidt and Tom Rosenow, to suit up.
