Biographical History
In 1955, led by Oscar Robertson, Crispus Attucks High School became the first Indianapolis school to win the state basketball championship. The school repeated the honor the following year. Coached by Ray Crowe, the school's basketball team had won 45 consecutive games when they were named the 1956 Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) champions. Opened as a high school for African American students, Crispus Attucks was banned from playing in the segregated IHSAA state basketball tournament until 1943. Ray Crowe, named head coach in 1950, began a winning dynasty that lasted seven years. At the end of his reign, his teams had won 193 games and lost 20.
