1954 Version With only one returning letterman from last year's state championship team, Coach Chris Leston built a team of fighting Tigers who won half of their season's games and placed fourth in the district conference. During the regular season Aberdeen outscored its opponents 996-928. Merrill Duffin lead Tiger scoring with 273point in 20 games. Earl Phillip's drive netted two points in a 42-36 win over American Falls. Merrill Duffin goes up with the North Marsh center in a 39-41 loss to the 1954 state champions. Oke REGULAR SEASON OPP.
