The Cowboy foot- ball team opened the sports year in September with the first of a nine game schedule. During the season Coach Skip', Palrangls boys played in seven states before crowds totaling 57,649. Against some of the finest high school teams in the country, the footballers compiled the fine record of six wins, two losses and one tie. The second major sport in the school year, basketball, resulted in the second State Cham- pionship for the Boys Town basketball team. Starting the season with but one returning starter from last yearis championship team, and only four lettermen on the squad, the Cowboys progressed slowly. Suffering four of the seasons five losses in the first five games, the team gradually began to jell into a smooth, well-bal- anced ball club. In the remaining fifteen games, including the District and State Tournaments, the Boys Towners lost only one game. The Cow- boyis capped a fine season of twenty wins and but five losses, by sweeping past Creighton Prep and Omaha South in the District Tournament, and then handily defeating Benson and Grand Island for the state title. At the Season's close, Milton Iuan was named to the World Heraldfs All State Team. The All-Tournament team cho- sen at the end of the state tournament listed juan plus two other Cowboys, Jim Gordon and VVilburn Hollis. During the fall and winter months, Cow- boy athletes also competed on swimming and wrestling teams. The wrestling team had eight- een dual meets, winning eleven and losing seven. The wrestlers also entered the North High School Invitational Tournament, placing fourth. Mike Sterner won the 165 pound championship in this tourney. At the close of the season the Cowboy grapplers placed fourth in the four- teen team Nebraska State High School Tourney. The Boys Town swimmers had eleven dual meets, winning six while losing five, The Cow- boy swimmers also entered and won the Tech High School Invitational Meet, and at the sea- sons end they placed second in the state swim- ming meet. During the spring months Boys Towners competed in three other sports. At this writing, the Cowboy baseball team has played seven games, winning five and losing two. The ball team will play in the district tournament, in the middle of May, in an effort to again gain a berth in the state tournament. The Track team has an eight-meet schedule. To date the Cowboy runners have competed in 4 meets, winning 2 and placing second in the other two. The trackmen will run in the District Tournament at Omaha University in the near- future. The Tennis team coached by Mr. James O'Brien has a nine-match schedule, and has done a fine job in its earliest outings. Tennis is the youngest sport on the Boys Town program but the boys have shown great interest and fine progress. In four of the seven sports on the Boys Town program, reserve teams also compete. During this school year freshmen athletes also compe- ted with freshmen teams from other schools in football, basketball, wrestling, and track. The grade school at Boys Town also has a fine athletic program, and during the 1956-57 school year grade school teams have made fine records. Grade school boys compete on football, basketball, baseball, and swimming teams. Mr. john Scott coaches the three major sports and Mr. Neal Fennell works with the swimmers. The outstanding record of the grade school year was that of the basketball team. The young Cowboys won twenty-two games while losing none. An extensive intramural and interclass ath- letic program is carried out for the benefit of each and every citizen, especially for those who are not members of teams in interschool com- petition.
