A high point of the tournament was the victory over Grand Junction. The basketball season started with a nip-and-tuck nonconference game with Cedaredge, the Eagles winning by only a marginal score. The first conference game was played with Delta. The Eagles lost this game, tried to make up for it six weeks later, but were not successful. Cedaredge tried to make a comeback in their two conference games with Paonia, but both attempts were unsuccessful. Both games with Gunnison were played in succession, Paonia winning one and losing one. The two games with Hotch- kiss were played within two weeks of each other. 'Hotchkiss was handed two terrific beatings for their trouble. The games with Crawford were, as predicted, easy games and Paonia came out victorious. Montrose played two games with Paonia. The Eagles were defeated in the first game but made a startling comeback in their second game by defeating the undefeated Indians. So ended a season of successful basketball for Paonia. Everybody was happyg what more could we hope for? Well, we could hope for a new gymnasium. At the tournament ratings Haley and Atkins were placed on the second all-conference basketball team.
