(Redirected from East Chicago Washington (Indiana))
The 1971 East Chicago Washington Senators high school basketball team went undefeated (29-0) and won the Indiana state high school basketball championship. Some believe it was the greatest high school basketball team ever. Certainly it was among the greatest Indiana high school teams, placing it is some very elite company.
The 1971 team included Ulysses Lee "Junior" Bridgeman (Louisville), Pete Trgovich (who played at UCLA) and Tim Stoddard (N.C. State), who would go on to have success as a Major League Baseball pitcher.
East Chicago Washington high school merged with its arch-rival East Chicago Roosevelt to form East Chicago Central high school.
