Coach Robert Gilham's reserve team had a good
season and brought home another city championship.
The squad started the year with three victories, de-
feating Huntingburg 140-293, Bicknell f4O-363 and
Tell City C39-24l. They were defeated by a rugged
Washington team C52-379.
Not letting the defeat' affect them, they rolled up
four more victories before losing to Bedford C5l-3ll.
They completed the season with a total of nine vic-
tories and six losses. The Panthers had plenty of
height-ranging from 5 feet ll inches to 6 feet 4
inches. The team consisted of five juniors and nine
sophomores.
Junior-sized cagemen ended a good season for
Reitz by downing the Southern Indiana Conference
Champs, Central. Starting the season, the young
Panthers lowned two city teams in a row, Mater Dei
and Bosse. Then they traveled to Tell City to con-
tinue the trial of victory.
Returning to the city they met Memorial's Tigers
head-on, but the little Tigers fell to the wayside of
the strong shooting tactics of the Panthers. Lincoln
also felt the sting of defeat from the young Hill-
toppers.
Then the Panthers had their first round with Cen-
tral's Bruins. lt was the Panthers' first loss for the
season. But' the tide turned and the Panthers snatched
two more victories from the hands of Mt. Vernon
and Bosse.
Losing in the SIAC tourney, the Panthers bounced
back to win the four final city games, Coach William
Trott's boys had a good season.
