WEST JETER Forward Guard TE M The Orrville Blue Torrents enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in many years by winning 20 games while losing only S. The Tor- rents finished the season by losing a hard fought game to an underdog Maplesville team in the quarter finals of the Third District Tourna- ment. The Torrents were the fourth seeded team in this meet. They fought hard the entire sea- son, but were crippled by injuries and illness to key players throughout the year. The starting five was revised and changed many times, causing the team to work constantly under a handicap. During the season twelve men started,at one time or another, on the A team. Mayton, Jeter, Pat- terson, West, P.Knight, E. Meredith, Frasier, S. Meredith, Pegues, Geeslin, J.Knight, and Bridges were starting performers. The largest margin by which the Torrents lost a game was three points. Two of their losses were by one point margins, two by two points, and one by three points. The team ran up a fine offensive record by dropping 1051 points through the hoops for an average of b2 points per game. The individual scoring lead was captured by Patterson, who was followed by Jeter, West, and E. Meredith. The defense was also outstanding. The opponents shot only 53h points for an average of 21 points per game. Pe- gues, E. Meredith, Jeter, and Mayton, seniors, will be the only members of the squad who will not be vack for another year. West, Frasier, P. Knight, J. Knight, Patterson, S.

GIRLS BASKETB LL A The Orrville High girls' basketball team proved to everyone their command of this district by breezing through to an undefeated season. The girls captured nine games and were never in danger of having their string broken as they outscrapped and out classed all their opponents. With beautiful new uniforms and one of the largest squads ever to turn out, the team proved itself one of the out- standing teams in the school's history. The offense of the team was dangerous at all times with such crack shots as Miley, Edwards, West, Parker, Dunning, and Taylor. The defense was exceptionally good with veteran guards--Davis, Reynolds, Mayton, and Boggs--and newcomers--Marshall, Crocker, and Mol- lette--holding opponents to low scores consistently. The team will lose only two members by the graduation route. Captain Edwards, star forward, and Mayton, scrapping guard, will be missed. With eleven experienced veterans returning, Coach Childres will have a fine nucleus around which to build his 'L48 team.
