The 1946-47 team showed great improve- ment over last year's. There was a large turnout this year, which shows that the boys are really interested in this exciting sport. Our undaunted players registered two decided victories this season, beating Flint- stone 3-0, and handing out a defeat to Barton 3-0. Both of these games were very interesting, not only because of the scores, but because both teams put forth everything they had. Other outstanding games during the season were played against Bruce and Beall. Soccer has presented an entirely new field in the line of sports to most of us, as last year was the first time in six years that a soccer league was formed. Probably next year will see several new teams in the Western Maryland interscholastic Soccer League. We will have several veterans returning next year, which should make a compara- tively strong team. We feel confident that with a determined effort, and a spirited backing, these lads will really make a fine showing.

Xe? - . s We BASKETBALL J, Green R. RGlSfOr'l P, Cook M. Eichhorn W. Rowan, Coach Carrington P. Preston B. Muir H. Stafford .l. Love A. Patton Once again, this year's basketball team was composed of inexperienced players, with only one regular remaining from the i946-47 team. Despite this decided handicap they entered the season with determination to fight and continue fighting right to the finish, no matter what the results of the games might be. This spirit was evident at all of the games played, even though the percentage of games won was low. We feel proud of this fact. Among Central's victories this year were wins over Bruce and Oakland. Other outstanding games were played against Barton and Shanksville. The climax of the season was reached when Central met Bruce in a game to determine the Class C champions. Unfortunately, Bruce was the victor in a thrilling encounter played on the neutral floor at Piedmont. ' Next year, with a large number of holdovers returning, Central is looking forward to a successful season. We feel sure that if the same enthusiasm is shown then as was shown this year, it will be a successful season. Good luck, fellows, we'll be with you.
