? BOYS' BASKETBALL The boys' basketball season opened with plenty of material but these men lacked experience. The first three Weeks of practice were mainly on fundamentals for the unexperienced men and then they settled down to a season of hard work. At the first of the year the fans did not think we had a champion- ship team but as the season progressed their hopes arose, and the boys climaxed their hopes by developing into a third best team in the state. The Panthers went through the season of 23 games with only five defeats, three of these going to Joes, the state champions. The Panthers participated in three tournaments. The first of these was at Vona, February 28, March 1 and 2, where they won the Southeastern Colorado Championship by defeating Joes 23-24. The next was held at Limon, March 7, 8, 9. This was one of the five divis- ional tournaments of the state, and Flagler emerged as runner-up to the Wonder team Joes. Flagler's great game was the one with the Boulder high school where she eliminated the famous Preps. Flag- ler's victory at Limon enabled her to help represent the third district at the state tournament at Greeley, March 14, 15, 16. The third district usually holds the champions, and 1929 was no exception fto the rule. The Panthers' first game at Greeley was with Sterling. This they lost. Their defeat eliminated their hopes for a state championship but strengthened their determination to win the Consolation tournament, which they did to capture third place in the state. After their defeat by Sterling they played Durango and nosed them out in a close game, 23-24, which put them in the Championship game Saturday night with Colorado Springs. This they won with a 29-34 score. The fitting close for the season was the banquet for the two teams, given by the town people who presented the members with handsome trophies. Cliff Farquhar, captain and center, was one of the best players in the conference, making many goals and always being a great defensive player. Rich Jorgensen, forward, was well fitted to hold down his position, always making some points. Sometimes he played guard and he al- ways made a great success at this also. Gib Bernard, guard, was the best guard in the conference and also the fastest. He had many goals to his credit and was always depend- able. He and the above two men are Seniors and the places will be hard to fill. Howard Yocum, forward, was the best goal shooter of the team and was our high point man. He received a silver basketball for be- ing second high point man at the Vona tournament. Dale Clark, guard, played his first year with F. H. S. and made a ,fitting showing. He will be back next year to help strengthen the eam. Max Groves, forward, was a very dependable substitute and de- serves credit for the team's showing. He made his letter. Lynn Stager, forward and guard, played Well and will be a great help to the team next year. He and Max are Juniors. Yocum, forward, was chosen to be on the Denver Post's second All-State team, Bernard, Jorgensen, Farquhar and Yocum placed on Southeastern Colorado League All-Conference teams.

There xx ere enough girls out for three teams, with 1 W vim, vigor and vitality, determined to make this a successful year. ll 1 The Pantherettes won every league game except the first one, F which was played with Kirk on Flagler's court. This loss was due N to inroads of flu. By winning all the other games on their schedule A 1 they were eligible to enter the League Tournament, in which they de- -W E feated successively Hugo 34-10, Arriba 23-13, and Stratton 51-9. 4 W The last game, played on Vona's floor, March 7, decided the cham- l , pionship of Southeastern Colorado League. This is the first time in the history of our school that Flagler has won the League Cup. That succeeding teams may make this cup a permanent possession through , two more successful seasons, is the ardent wish of everyone. V The champions of this league were scheduled to meet the cham- H rl pions of Douglas-Elbert county league at Limon, March 9. Flagler f Q was successful in Winning this game also with a score of 32-9. This entitled them to play in the State semi-final, which was with gp l' Las Animas. It was one of the fastest girls' games ever seen by l ll many Flagler supporters and will long be remembered as a REAL lk basketball game. The Flagler girls had the Trojanettes either tied, or in their lead, , 1 throughout three quarters of the game, and at one time were nine T points ahead, when it looked as if they would surely Wing but a cyclone finish of the Las Animas sextette in the last quarter completely over- ll whelmed the Pantherettes and succeeded in snatching the game from , the fire, making the final count 34-30 in favor of Las Animas. This team won the State Championship in the final game, against Brush. The team was coached by Mr. McKinley and captained by Lu- la it L H EV- ' nie as sw - --W .Ere t,g-easier?-i -ag -
