Greetings to Thorp Alumni

JACK TETZNER COURT

This Saturday, November 25, 2006, the basketball court at Thorp High School will be named the JACK TETZNER Court. The dedication will take place following the junior varsity boys basketball game, and before the varsity game against Chippewa Falls McDonell.

From 1954 – 1988, hundred of players were on Coach Tetzner’s teams at Thorp High School. Those players and their families have been invited to the dedication. A social will follow.

The alumni players are donating money to pay for a large plaque to be hung in Coach Tetzner’s memory in the multi-purpose room at the high school. If any of the readers would like to donate toward this cause, please send your donation to:
