xi-.QvIqlIr. fl ln midseason the Owl nine took hold and began showing their strength, as they went into a five game winning streak. Grabbing the first two with easy wins from Parker, 8-6 and St. Johns, ll-55 the Owls then beat Buckeye for the first time in many years, by a small margin, but an efficient one, of 3-2, Wickenburg fo-ll and Gila Bend K8-73 were next to fall in front of the hard hitting nine, before their winning streak was to break. Wicken- burg came back for revenge and got it in a close win, 3-l. Tolleson was the last to fall to the Owls for the season with a 5-O trouncing. Winding up the season with three losses, Scottsdale C2-55, Sunnyslope H4-4l, and a very close one to the district champions, Ajo Cl-OJ, the Litchfield nine finished with a 7-loss and 7-win record.

The Junior Varsity while learning the fundamentals, also worked hard enough to win eight of their twelve games.
