The South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame is honoring one of the outstanding teams in state history. The 1963 Sisseton Redmen are being recognized as a Team of Excellence, 48 years after capturing the Class A state championship. Finishing a perfect season with a 25-0 record, it was only the third time in state history that a team had gone undefeated in the “A” ranks.
The Redmen defeated Gregory 65-37, Sioux Falls Washington 42-33 and defending champion Brookings 58-42 to win the first “A” state tournament played at the Sioux Falls Arena. The five starters — Jack Theeler, Myron Moen, Simon Schloe, Bob Hull and Bob Brewster — all went on to play college basketball.

The SHS Class of 1963 boys basketball team has been the greatest Sisseton team of all times. They won the SD State Campionship by playing big high schools associated with Sioux Falls, Bookings, Rapid City, Watertown, etc. The 25 wins and 0 losses speaks for it’s self.
