One of the finer points of the 1968-1969 basket- ball season was the rec- ord of the junior Cats. The reserves squad fin- ished the season in grand style by winning eight and losing four. The junior varsity showed power early by having wins in the first eight games, but the fast pace failed to hold up as they lost four games in a row to finish the season. During the season the B-squad de- feated Hay Springs and C hadron Assumption twice a piece. The follow- ing teams were beaten by the Cats once: St. Agnes, Sidney St. Pats, Minatare, and Rushville. The junior varsity failed to defeat three teams—Bayard, Morrill and Crawford, the Rams defeating them twice. This was a poor finish for a good start. Bill Smith shoots for the last kits won with a score of 69- two points of the Heming- 47. ford Assumption game.

It was a tight ball game in the 1st, 3rd and 4th periods but the Bobcats let down in the second period to give the Tigers their needed edge. The final score was 74-66. The second time around with the Rams was almost as disasterous to the Bobcats as the first. The Cats had a number of bad passes and turnovers that cost them the game. This game finished the Cats regular season with a 2-12 record, with the Dis- trict Class C playoffs left. The 1968-69 Basketball season end- ed when the Rushville Longhorns elimina- ted the determined Bobcats in the first round of the District Playoffs held at Scottsbluff. The game ended in a score of 76-53 it was a closer game than the score in- dicates as both teams were at a deadlock at half time.
