Last year, by graduation, Rocky Ford lost all but one player, Aschermann, who played guard last year. Because of his height, he was moved to center position this year, and de- veloped linto one of the best centers in the valley, receiving a position on the Seoonldi All Valley Team. Cavanah and Miller became two of the best forwards in the league. With Miller's pa-ssing ability and Cavanah's shooting, they helped the Rocky Ford five to place second in the valley. Cavanah made the All Valley first five while lMiller received honorable mention. Three guards showed up well this year, Holler, Cramer, and Hancock. Holler received honorable mentlion. This year only two players, Aschermann and Miller, are to be graduated, so prospects are bright for next season, with Cavanah, Cramer, Holler, Hancock, Johnson, Shafer, Frantz, and Nakayama returning. Rocky Ford entered in the district meet at La Junta this year, where we lost our first game to Walsh by a 'score of 27-16, won our second from Lamar by a score of 21-17 and were eliminated by La Junta by a score of 22-21. Coaches Neighbors and Gelwick have given much effort and time to develop sa good ball beam. Following season's succelsas wtill produce a ,team next year that will really go places land do things.
