ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Coach Wally Smith's l939 Apaches turned in one of the most' impre- ssive records .in the an- nals of N.H.S. football history with '5 wins, l tie, and 2 losses. For- iw the first'time in historyu .Q the 'Apaches' were unde- feated in conference play, thereby, annexing the Southern Conference Title. 5. ff ' Too much credit cannotrbe given to the boys'termed as Wscrubsn. It was only through their consistancy'in reporting for practice that the' Apaches were able to go through such a successful season. Though these boys were not eligible for first'team awards, the school showed their appreciation by awarding them small felt N's. In spite of the fact that the team is losing sic experienced men, the Apaches are expecting another successful season next year. BASKETBALL Under the tutlege and mentoring of Coach Lon M. Bellman, the No- .gales Apaches, High School Basketball squad, ended the'current seaso with a better than average record, by winning 12 games while losing ll. Starting the season with only four men of last year's squad,Coach Bellman molded a team around Alex Durazo, Sammy' Marcusgand Frankt Reed. This team went to'the'Southern Conference Tournament taking second place. The Apaches went to the Arizona State Tourament for the third time in the history oF'the school, and'the second succe- ssive time in the last l9 years of the state tourney's existence. Starting his third year as head'basketball 'Coach at the Nogal- es High School, last December,Coach Bellman has, so far been the mo- st successful basketball mentor in the history of the school.Taking over the reins of a much battered basketball squad record,Coach Bellman has built up Nogales into a threat in the last two Southe- rn Conference Tournaments,gaining'runner-ups next to Tucson and two invitations to the State Tournaments. 45
