.TJ U3 CYD :xr -Q4 fn --4 91. ga4Lef6af The basketball season at Custer County High School for the year of 1951 was a lot of fun for all those who participated as well as for the many fans who followed many of the WBobcatn games. The WBobcatsW worked hard under the superb leadership of Coach Michael Manatos, and for the first time in many years learned some of the fundamen- tals of basketball. The nBobcatsN showed improvement in every way, but for many of the boys it was their first taste of real basketball and we all be- lieve that they will improve in future years. Also, the league competition was very 'stiffu. There were five lettermen who returned to the C. C. H. S, squad: Ronald Anderson, Charles Bauer, Dave Jones, Don Camper and Danny Higgins, At the end of the 1951 season there were thirteen lettermen: the five just named plus Wes Colvin, Chet Koch, Bill Piquette, John Brandenburg, David Hobby, Jack Hardin, Raymond Seybold, and Donald Sutcliffe. Ronald Anderson and Charles Bauer were captain and co-captain respectively. The WBN team helped to offset the u successful campaign of the UAW team by staying undefeated in six preliminary WBU games during the season. They show promise of bringing a league championship to C. C. H. S, in the next few years. The game that we think was the highlight of the N510 season was a 59 to 53 loss to the second place Fairplay WBurros'. It was a close game all the way and it was the only game in which the NBobcatsU scored more than 50 points. We thought it was quite a comeback after the 72 to 36 'shellackingn we took at the hands of the WBurrosW at Fairplay earlier in the season. The school is looking forward to more successful basketball teams under Coach Manatos. He has done a nswell' job this year and we all know that he can do it again. With all but three of the lettermen returning next year, the future looks very bright. The three graduating lettermen are Ronald Anderson, Jack Hardin, and Charles Bauer. ggi A, Sf, 8 Q as .
