1947-48 SHEBOYGAN DICK'S 

WISCONSIN STATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE

1st Half: 4-8, .333, T-5th place
2nd Half: 1-10, .091, 6th place


Sheboygan expected much at the beginning of the season, but they dropped their first three games and were 2-7 when Bill Schroeder took over as head coach. Bill had joined the team in the week before Christmas when his commitment to the Chicago Rockets football team (of the AAFC) closed. He was named head coach in January but it made little difference. After a poor first half, the team only won one game in the second half.
