In Deer Creek, Indiana, Washington Township of Carroll County provided education for Deer Creek High School students and North Central Elementary School students until the school closed in 1958. During the 1958-1959 school year, Deer Creek School became an elementary school. Its teams were known as the Crickets, and the Deer Creek Cricket High School basketball teams played from 1909 until 1958. For the last 28 years, the Crickets did not have a home gym. The 1936-1937 Deer Creek Crickets completed a 19-0 undefeated regular season and earned the name "gym-less wonders of Carroll County." That same team is the only undefeated team to lose to a winless team in Indiana boys basketball sectional history.
