THE 1922 BASKETBALL SEASON Moundsville High School's 1922 Basketball season was a decided suc- cess, as was expected. Of a total of 19 games played, 12 have been won and 7 lost. Among the teams met were some of the strongest in the Ohio Val- ley, including Marietta High, whom Moundsville defeated this year for the hrst time. Two games each were played with teams such as, Parkersburg, Wellsibt1rg', Sistersville, Smithfield, and Martins Ferry. Moundsville was unfortunate in having one or more regulars sick for a lengthened period throughout the sea- son, and this doubtless accounts for the majority of our defeats. The entire regular early-season lineup was able to play in but 2 of the 7 games lost and this was the main cause for the few de- feats suffered. Among the notable victories of the season were those over Marietta, Farmington, double wins ov- er Littleton, Smithfield, and Middle- bourne, and a tournament, victory over Sistersville.

Thursday afternoon, in the opening game of the Tournament on Court B, they defeated Sistersville in a thrilling comeback, by a score of 19-15. The next mprning they lo-st to Clendennin, a team that went to the finals, by a score of 20-15. Coach Wiant of lllinois State, in his first year at Moundsville High School, is deserving of a great amount of cred- it for the success of the team. His untiring effort and skilled coaching has brought to M. H. S. new laurels and added victories. The team and coach deserve the credit for our third consecutive suc- cessfuli' season.

INDIVIDUAL WRITE-UPS, 1922 BASKETBALL TEAM VI IA RENCE LAFFERTY- 'tSkinney was captain of the team this year and played his third year on the varsity, filling a forward position to perfection. Although sickness kept him out of several of the games, he more than made up for this in the oth- ers. t'Skinney is a Junior. 'WILLIAM WOODB URN- Billl' played his last basketball at M. H. S. this year and also his best. He has been the most consistent scorer for his team throughout the season and eompleted his fourth year on the varsity this spring. Bill's shoes will be hard to till and it will be a long time before another man will be found to take his plaee on the basketball court. GLENN HAMILTON- t'Ham jumped center for the team this year, and most of his opponents thought he had springs in his shoes. An accurate shot and g'ood tloor man, he has proved to be one of the main- stays ot the team. Ham also is a Junior this year. It A YM OND BARNETTE- Barney played his last game of basketball this year for Moundsville Iligh, and has proved to he one of the best guards ever turned out by BI. Il. S. lIe is a three year man. EDMUND ECHOLS- . Speed also graduates this year and M. H. S. loses another guard of sterling worth. He has played a stel- lar and eonsistent game for the Orange and Black and altho this Was his first regular year on the varsity, he has eer- tainly made good, WALTER PURDY- t'Bud alternated with Hamilton on eenter this year and proved his worth by getting into the majority of the varsity games. This has been his first year on the team and he should greatly strengthen next year's team. The Sophs claim Bud WILLIAM REED- BiIl was one of the surprises of the season. Playing his iirst varsity ball this year he performed like a vet- eran and is the most promising pros- peet on a guard that was turned up this season. 4'BiIl is a Junior and will be here next year. JOE WILSON- Joe graduates this year but play- ed a fine game at forward in every game in which he played. He was 0116 of the pluckiest fighters on the squad and never said Die A forward to take his place next year will be hard to find.
