A decade that saw the Tigers coached by four different men — Zierten, Metzger, Schwartzwalder, and Hester — and culminating in a 17–6 State Tournament run in 1939. From a 5-game Christmas road trip to Illinois, to Quinif’s 361-point season, the ’30s laid the groundwork for future glory. 129 wins, 89 losses across eleven seasons.
