Second'R5w - Kantarian, Poppa, Janus, Dimiceli, Morse, Pleasant, Brittingham, Keyesj Posten, Coach Truex. 1FHE 1937 edition of Atlantic Highlands Basketball teams was one that will be re- membered for a number of years. The team was composed of three veterans, Louis Poppa, Robert Morse and James Keyes.. The two new comers Abe Pleasant and James Pos en completed the Quintet. In the course of the regular season thirteen games were played. Atlantic igh winning nine and losing four. In the past season our- nmmn. We ogened the season by defeating Matawan 30 to 14. Keyport was next and they gave us t e first of three defeats that we suffered at their hands during the sea- son. The next was a pleasant hard fought victory over Manasquan 29 o 27. We continued on the winning side of the ledger defeating Rumson 30 to 9 but then suff- ered our second defeat of the year at the hands of Neptune, 30 to 18. A fine game winning streak followed starting with our ancient rival Leonardo and including Rumson, Manasquan, Red Bank, the first in a few years and the second victory over Manasquan, which was the first time an Atlantic Highlands Basketball team had defeated this opponent twice in the same year. A thriller at Keyport fol- lowed with Atlantic fina ly succumbing 26 to 22 after a bitter struggle. In the remaining two games on the schedule A lantic beat Leonardo for the second time but lost the final of the regular season to Red Bank 30 to 22. On the basis of our season record, we were invited to play in the Shore Con- ference. Our first-round opponent was Freehold. We were successful and easily trimmed them 38 to l8. The ollowing night we met the Keygort High School team for the championship. Keyport won t e game 31 to 22 but tlantic took the second place cup and left as though we had made a good account of ourselves. The following week we met gSouth Amboy in the first-round of nament. After a bitter battle we won 35 to 31. A week later at Convention Hall we lost to Neptune High School 53 to 29 and thus from the tournament. Our season record, including the past season the State Tour- the Asbury Park were eliminated games, stood at ll victories against 6 defeats. The prospects for 1938 are very pleasing. Jim Keyes is the only veteran lost to the team and several junior varsity players have s own promise of filling his shoes. Let's look for another successfu season next year. By Robert Kurau '37
