A Team Finishes Great Season, 29-3 What a year! exclaimed fans and players, as the basketball A team finished the season with an outstanding 29-3 record and first place in State. A high point ofthe year was when Wooddale, a Memphis team, met the Hornets at Advance and lost 72-66. The varsity Hornets brought home four first places out of their five tournaments this year. Taking first in the Stoddard County Tournament was especially exciting since an Advance team hadn't taken first in the tourney in 12 years. Cries of victory and tears of joy followed the Hornets' defeat of North Pemiscot in su b-state action. However, few people knew that the game was Coach Carroll Cookson's 200th victory since his arrival at Advance in 1966. Seniors David Stork Tropf, Ron Oller, and Royce Yount were honored at the end of the season for their fine prowess. David and Ron were chosen as All-Staters, All-Stars, and All- Conference players. Royce received honorable mention in each. All three were named All- District players. The team managers were Tom Kalinski and Rus Lanpher.
