Always in contention during the early stages of the games, lack of reserve power proved a severe handicap to the team. They never stopped trying, however. Playing their last season were Seniors Armstrong, Smith, and Barton. A strong JV squad gives Coach Blakeslee bright prospects for next year. Barton was high scorer for the season with a 242 point total, an average of 14 per game. 26
