Here is another newspaper article with no paper name or date listed. However, I believe that this is the 1952 team --
Finan Hits 27 Points
Paced by the sharpshooting Mickey Finan, who poured in 27 points to bring his total to 78 for three tourney games, Copemish high school's Cyclones swept to their second successive regional Class D cage championship Saturday night by thumping Kingsley's Stags 61-39, at Central high gym.
A capacity crowd of fans was on hand to witness the finals of the four-day tourney, in which seven district titlists battled it out for a state quarter-finals berth.
Copemish, defending the D crown won here a year ago, proved itself a true champion by notching its third win in as many nights. The Cyclones defeated Central Lake, Mio, and Kingsley in their march to the title, and in the finals Saturday the Benzonia district title-holders avenged a seasonal 44-41 loss to the game Kingsley club.
Finan, who racked up 30 points against Central Lake, 21 against Mio, and 27 against the Stags, was the margin of difference. His consistent scoring spearheaded the attack of the Cyclones, ably assisted by Smith, the rangy center and Jakubik at guard.
The first half was fairly close, although Copemish was never headed after snapping a 3-2 deadlock in the first minutes to move into a 13-7 first quarter lead. Kingsley, whose gunnery was badly off Saturday, picked up in the second stanza from a 25-13 deficit and closed the gap to 27-29 at halftime.
In the third period Copemish doubled the score on the Stags, piling up 14 points to boost their lead to 41-27, and then cut loose in the last quarter with a 20 point burst as they pulled steadily away playing control ball the final minutes to run out the time.
Finan's performance gave him individual scoring honors, with Smith collecting 12 and Jakubik 10. Rodes, who dropped in several long toms, was the big gun for Kingsley, with 14 markers followed by Brown with seven.
