X w UI' XX WMI-IEI' M Iilm Ryan, Kenneth-Guard. l..oppy is small but he- sure is mighty. When it comes to basket ball he's right there. He has a habit of rattling the other team by tossing in a basket two or three times in every game from past the middle of the floor. He can move like forked lightning and is also our foul shooter. The points he has rolled up in this manner have won many a game this season. He graduates this year. Woodburn, William-Forward, Captain. This is Billis third year on the team and he will be with us again next year. He was given honorable mention in the state line-up last year and has been going great guns this season. He has played every year since he has been in high school and besides the honors as a player he has already earned, we expect to hear great things of him at the tournament. , Barnette, Raymond+-Guard. You see a big yawn down under the other team's basket and you know that's Barnette. He's the sleepiest looking guy that ever played basket ball, or so we believe, but when that ball comes down in his territory you wonder what's happened because Barney has wakenecl up. Coach Sweeney says that he wishes he could make Barney play a game before he starts in to play as he never gets warmed up until the end of the game. Barney was one of the best guards in the State last year. Lafferty, Clarence-Forward. uskinnyn was a member of the 1920 squad and when he came out this year Coach Sweeney knew he had a real player. He tosses in baskets with amazing regularity and also has a manner of eluding opposing guards in a most puzzling manner. We expect him to do great things. Q 1 'I f ... 4... .ld ,...

El lr' 1, we S E Q Z Eu XX HMI-ISI' .hs R 2. Hamilton, Glenn-Center and Forward., Ham is always on deck to take an'yone's place in the game and is one of the peppiest players ever on a court. He puts pep in any- one and has done wonders at all sports. We expect to see him counted as one of the greatest athletes ever turned out at Moundsville Young, Joe-Guard. x joe got in many games this year, and would have been in more if other interests had not kept him from practicing as much as he should. He will graduate this year and Moundsville loses a good guard when he goes out. McConnell, Eugene-Center. i jean came to us from Bethany this year and certainly fills the shoes of Moore, last year's center. He is big but is one of thie fastest men on the team and has been out-jumped at center but very few times. Staggers, Vernon-Forward. Staggers came from Wadestown High to Nloundsville and im- mediately showed that he could play basket ball. He has played in nearly all of the games this season and probably is the fastest Floor man on the squad. He, like Barnette, is likely to fool you as he also looks sleepy. The Substitutes. The following have done much to make the team the success that it is: Purdy. Reed, Harris, DuBois, Wilson and Warner. Coach Sweeney. Mr. Sweeney has secured the co-operation of everyone and the players always have done best for him. He takes great interest in all the school work: besides being the coach of all athletics, is teacher of history. We think he has done very well for Moundsville this year. if i 'I l92I If XX
