Basketball Team This year's team played 35 games during the season including tournament games. Of this number, they won all but five. They have scored a total of 1 425 points while our opponents have made 865. We have averaged 40.7 points per game and our opponents 24.43. The Clay City team won a Blind Tourney at Noble on New Year's Day. We won the M. T. C. Tourney at Clay City January 30. 31. and February 1. The team has a perfect record in winning all of their conference games. Out of the 35 games, three were lost to Flora, one to Paris, and one to Mt. Carmel. The team has been slowed down a lot by sickness and accidents throughout the season. One member of our team has won state-wide recognition by his scoring ability. He ranks second in the state with 5 1 3 points in 30 games. We are especially proud of one of our trophies which is a sportsmanship trophy presented to us by the Clay County Advocate for showing the best sportsmanship at the Midland Trail Tourney. Clay City played in the Regional Tournament at Flora, where they won second place. This gave them the chance to play in the State Sectional at Law-renceville where they lost the first game to Mt. Carmel in a closely fought contest. Losing just two players, the team looks forward to a great season next year. Thr Ctaytonian Pnyr riyhtrrn
