Just to keep this going, members of the Rossford basketball team may or may not have actually had a large hand in planning the super ball incident at the Rossford High School Gym.

Just for the record, I found this site by googling James Heck, not Rossford High School or Rossford High School gym. Yes, I’m a bored, pathetic, middle-aged former Rossford student googling old classmates…like James Heck.

I will say, for the record, that I kept my balls in my pocket that night.

It cost Rossford High School a chance at a league title!?!?!

The perpetrators must be tracked down and dealt with. Whoever they are. Wherever they may be.

Well….. Maybe Rossford would have won…. maybe they wouldn’t have won….. but I do remember how it changed the momentum of the game.

I dug through my archives of video tapes from that year and found the game. We (Rossford) were winning at the time…. and after the super balls rained down…… it was just over…. even though it happened in the first half. Caith Chapman had a very good game for the Panthers…..

It is still a bad memory for me…… and losing that game definitely hurt our chances at a league title that year……. we finished second… one game out of first….

Peace

And I’m still not sure if Rossford would have won the game anyhow.

Interesting that this post is still receiving comments. I found it again by googling “Rossford High School,” not “Rossford High School Gym.” It was over a year ago that I commented as Tony’s Brother, but I think it was still an awesome spectacle seeing those balls rain down into the Rossford High School Gym. Even better was the game at Maumee when we counted down from five with 2:00 left in the first half just to laugh at the reaction of the administrators.

Interesting that you are remembering the superball game. It was Maumee at Rossford. I was an assistant coach for Rossford at the time. The year would have been 1994 or 95.

Just remember more than anything the student body counting down from 2:09…. nine, eight, seven,…….. and wondering what in the world…. then……

It rained small super balls…. Technical foul…. complexion of the game changed…. Maumee wins…..

I came across an old scrapbook not too long ago with the Blade article of the game….

Not such a good memory of that particular game.

[...] Remember the ad with the bouncing balls I told you about last year?? It was, and still is, the most amazing TV ad I think I’ve ever seen! [...]

I think I was at a wrestling tournament in the Rossford High School Gym, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen nor played basketball in the Rossford High School Gym. In fact, I probably couldn’t describe the inside or outside of the Rossford High School Gym if my life depended on it, but I’d certainly try to make something up were that the case. I bet I could come up with something that looked at least a little like the Rossford High School Gym if I had to. What part of the Glass City is Rossford even in? Or is it actually a ‘burb? Do they have a swim team or is Rossford High limited to gym sports? Having grown up on God’s corner of Ohio (northeast for those of you from elsewhere) I’m not even sure I could find the Rossford High School Gym these days.
