 1950-51 GREEN BAY MAJORS 

(also referred to as the GeeBees)

WISCONSIN STATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE

1st Half: 4-6 .400, T-4th place

2nd Half: 7-3, .700, 2nd place

Coached by Art Schroeder who coached New Holstein a couple seasons ago, Green Bay finally put a team together after failing to do so the previous year. Despite some decent players (Ronnie Blomberg, Wimpy Cartier, Joe Meeuwsen and Mel Peterson), Green Bay got off to a poor start, winning only 2 or their first eight games. When they added Jim Carter in late December, the team's fortune changed, winning the last two games of the half and the first two of the second half. They would win 5 of their last six but fell short of first place, missing out on the championship series.
