Stendal is an unincorporated village and census designated place in southern Pike County, Indiana, United States.

In early years, basketball and the Junior and Senior class plays were the only extra-curricular activities offered.

Despite the fact that Stendal did not have a gymnasium, the "Gym-less Wonders" won 3 Pike County Tournaments (1927–28, 1928–29 and 1929–30) behind the star power of Indiana Basketball Hall of Famer, Kern McGlothlin.

McGlothlin would return to Stendal as the head coach of the Aces, following a collegiate career at Evansville College.

McGlothlin would accumulate a record of 319-134; including positions at Cynthiana, Ind., Greencastle, Ind., Cannelton, Ind., and Winslow, Ind.
