Our history & legacy
More than five decades on the court
Founded as a nonprofit in 1972, the league grew from six teams into one of the North Country’s enduring basketball institutions.
Tom Proechel leads
Proechel takes over soon after formation, growing the league to eight teams at the Malone Armory—now the YMCA.
Ken Cring takes the reins
Proechel hands leadership to Ken Cring. Expansion follows to 10, 12 and 16 teams, with games also played at Flanders Gym.
Historic high
The men’s, women’s and senior divisions combine for a league-record 39 teams.
Remembering Bob Loetterle
After the longtime scorekeeper and statistician dies, the league establishes a scholarship in his memory.
The legacy continues
The Bob Loetterle and Ken Cring scholarships are united to benefit local youth for years to come.
The Ken-Bob Tournament
An annual memorial tournament honoring Robert “Bob” Loetterle and the people whose service shaped Malone basketball.
The Wayno
The league’s annual referee award recognizes dependable, fair, no-nonsense service to the game.
Community investment
The adult league has supported St. Joseph’s alongside the Ken Cring CYO League, including the community scoreboard effort.
