Palmer High School - Terror Trail Yearbook (Colorado Springs, CO)

38 to 31, the final score of the second Terror-Walsenburg game, marked the largest margin at any point of that particular fray. A one point Terror lead at the half was narrowed to the closeness of a 27 to 27 tie in the middle of the final period by the fast stepping Panthers, but the Terror heroes of basketball staked a last minute scoring spurt to win. A half game was all that was needed by our star hoopmen in defeating the Central Wildcats 36 to 17. After it took the lead by half time to make the score read 27 to 10, our first team loafed through the third quarter and then let the second team gain some practically scoreless experience in the final stanza. Having cinched a good berth in the State Tournament, the Terrors' final league game which ended with the score of 41 to 21 and also their second victory over Central of Pueblo proved an exceedingly good warm up game for the final meet. Four sopho- mores thought they were pretty hot stuff because they saw action among the fifteen players used in the fray. Riding on their second place wave into the State Tournament, the Terrors met Sterling, the Northeastern League champ, in the quarter-finals only to be defeated by a 37 to 28 count. This game was the closest of all four of the evenings games, the score jumping from the Brown and White hardwoodies' favor to a tie and from Sterling's favor only to reverse and go back again to the Terrors' side. The tide was turned when Grill and Kleinhans were put out in the final period, and the brown and white clad hoopsters lost the spark that would have given them laurels. BASKETBALL ROW' l7Yconopolus.
