The Cats underwent some growing pains early, suffering a three-game losing streak in the early part of the season, but they responded well--winning four in a row and five of their last six before heading into the tournament. The Bobcats fell to Carrollton in the first round of the sectional, but then ended the season on a positive note as they upset 18-1 East Liverpool on the road in double-overtime in a makeup game.

Cambridge stormed through their regular-season schedule, winning 15 of their first 18 games and clinching the East Central Ohio League Championship in its inaugural season. Their only losses in that stretch were to Steubenville, Bellaire, and Zanesville--and the Cats avenged all three of those losses. The Bobcats then stumbled at the end of the regular season, losing their final two games to Marietta and Coshocton. Cambridge then followed that up with a somewhat lackluster 54-39 win over an outmanned Philo Electrics squad in their first tournament game--a game that was highlighted by a 12-minute power outage in New Concord. However, after a scathing editorial on the Daily Jeffersonian's sports page called into question whether Cambridge had the heart to advance deep into the tournament, the Cats came back with a vengeance, demolishing the West Holmes Knights 96-63. After that, there was no looking back for the Cats, as they played with a renewed confidence that led them first to a district title, and then, after a 78-48 thrashing of Guernsey County rival Meadowbrook in the regional championship, a regional title and the school's first OHSAA State Tournament appearance. The Bobcats played well in the State Semifinal game, but they unable to fend off West Geauga's comeback, and fell 66-62. Senior F Michael Ford led the Bobcats in scoring with 504 points, reaching double-figures in 24 games. He scored 20+ points 13 times, with a season-high of 29 at home vs. St. Clairsville. Ford also tied for the team lead with 22 three-pointers. Junior F Scotty Mack was second in scoring with 299 points, reaching double-figures in 14 games. He scored a season-high of 21 at home vs. Bellaire. Junior C Aaron Quinn was third with 297 points, reaching double-figures in 14 games. He scored a season-high of 20 in the regional championship win over Meadowbrook. Quinn also led the Bobcats in rebounds with 237. Sophomore G Darin Ford was fourth in scoring with 296 points, reaching double-figures in 16 games. He scored 20+ points three times, with a season-high of 29 at home vs. Zanesville. Junior G Jay Maximo was fifth with 272 points, reaching double-figures in 16 games. He scored a season-high of 20 in the district championship win over Tri-Valley. Maximo also led the Bobcats in assists with 130, and tied for the team lead with 22 three-pointers. Senior sixth-man Brian Taylor was sixth in scoring with 124 points, reaching double-figures in five games. He scored a season-high of 15 in the season-opener at Meadowbrook. - The Bobcats advance to regional play for the first time since 1965-66, then win their first Regional Championship and advance to the State Tournament for the first time since the OHSAA began sanctioning the tournament in 1922-23.

However, the Cats were deeper than they had been in previous years, as they regularly played ten players. Cambridge started well, winning their first three games--all at home--and five of their first six. The schedule had some unusual quirks, thanks to three postponements due to inclement weather, as after the three consecutive home games to open the season the Bobcats played ten of their next 12 games on the road. The Cats then finished the season with five consecutive home games. The long road schedule took its toll on the Bobcats, as they were unable to maintain any consistency. Ironically, the Bobcats lost in their first tournament game to Tri-Valley, the same team they defeated to open the season. Senior G Darin Ford led the Bobcats in scoring with 432 points, reaching double-figures in all 21 games. He scored 20+ points 12 times, with a season-high of 34 at home vs. Marietta. He also led the Bobcats in rebounds with 154, and assists with 72. Freshman G Geno Ford was second in scoring with 359 points, reaching double-figures in 19 games. He scored 20+ points seven times, twice scoring a season-high of 27--at home vs. Barnesville, and at home vs. St. Clairsville. He also led the Bobcats in three-pointers with 51. Junior G Steve Long was third in scoring with 161 points, reaching double-figures in seven games. He scored a season-high of 22 at Bellaire. - On November 28, 1989, the Bobcats record the 900th victory in CHS history with a season-opening 59-55 win at home over Tri-Valley. - On February 20, 1990, in the Bobcats' 69-67 win at home over Bellaire, Darin Ford becomes the fifth player in CHS history to score 1,000 points, and joins his brother Michael Ford as the only brothers to ever achieve the milestone. Ford finishes his career fifth on the CHS career scoring list with 1,026 points. - Darin Ford also becomes the ninth player in CHS history to score 400 points in a single season.
