I had checked all those sources, none answered my question.  I assume it was a consolidation of at least Gas City and Jonesboro's government schools.

I'm curious.  Is the current Mississinewa Community Government School Corporation the result of consolidation(s), and if so from what communities/towns/townships?   Always wondered why it just was't called Gas City High School.

 

Yes Mississinewa Community Schools is a consolidation of Gas City High School and Jonesboro High School.  They consolidated in the early 50's.  The current R.J. Baskett Middle School is the original Mississinewa High School.  It is located on the banks of the Mississinewa River.  Gas City was known as the Tigers and Jonesboro was known as the Zebras.

Great info, thanks! Next question, do you know when they stopped using the football field for High School games that is down by the river? I imagine there might have been some foggy game nights down there.

My guess would be 1976ish.  The new school opened in 1977.  I played a few games on that field when I was in Jr High.  No fog, but the skeeters would carry you off the field....

It was used for Junior High games up until around 2005 I think.  It was used for youth league games up until 2012 or 2013.  It is still used for practice and the shed down below is used by the 7th and 8th grade teams as a locker room.  The old practice fields were used for the 1st and 2nd grade league up until about 2012 or 13 as well.  There were no night games for the youth league as the lights quit working or became unrepairable sometime in the 2000's.  Yes the skeeters would carry you off the field and on Saturday morning youth games with the dew the skeeters were even worse than in the 80's when I was in Jr High.

Noticed on the Mississinewa's website that the Head Football Coach position is no longer posted.  The next board meeting is Monday night.  Wonder if there will be an announcement?

Very innovative with offense. Great hire!

Based on the numbers at the College level directing offenses, he may just open up a whole new game for Mississinewa.  The high power offense may be even more high power.  Averaged over 500 yards a game in back to back season's.  One season was 560 yards per game.  Now if he can find a QB that can run his offense it could be a lot of high scoring games for Ole' Miss.  Ole' Miss was one dimensional this past season but didn't need a passing game but had it if needed.  Ole' Miss may just have more offensive plays than the last 4 years.
