Maurice basketball reunion: Scrapbook donation turns into reuniting coach with 1969, 1973 state championship teams
MAURICE — When Larry Winters approached former Maurice High head basketball coach Johnny Picard with newspaper clippings and photos from the Bulldogs’ 1973 state championship team, the former longtime coach suggested the items belonged in a museum.
That idea turned into a reunion of players and cheerleaders from Maurice High’s 1973 and 1969 Class C state championship teams when scrapbooks commemorating those two teams were donated to the Maurice Museum on Wednesday morning.
