They come closer to the championship than any other team since 1932. They tied all the way until the two final games which the Jr. Hornets dropped. They had good spirit and played good consistent basketball all through the season. The leading scorer was Junior Singh, followed closely by Richard Thur- man and Emilio Deen. The starting five was usually composed of Junior Singh and Harry George as the forwards, lanky Emilio Deen as center and Billy Brown and Richard Thurman as the guards. The Calipat B's started off the '51 season by winning three out of five practice games. This gave them good experience and lots of fire for the league opener with Calexico. Our boys won this game by 40-39. The second game was with El Centro, which was probably the worst game played all season. 'Calipat lost by a six point margin 30-24. The B Hornets came back -with fighting spirit and won over Hol-tville 39-31. Then the team was defeated once again by Imperial, 59-34. This must have been the incentive needed because our B's came back to.win the next four games, beating Brawley twice by scores of 30-22 and 45-30, Holtville 34-19 and El Centro 37-21. At this point, the team was tied for the league lead with Calexico an-u the next game was with the Bulldogs , The boys fought hard but lost,
