' Ridge Qatans Take 9ectional, Regional Team effort, desire, speed, and skill enabled the 1968 Satan basketball team to capture four victory trophies and one runner-up trophy. During Christmas vacation the Devils beat Goshen 76-67 to win the Goshen Tourney. Returning home the Satan fourteen- game winning streak was halted by Washington in the semi-final round of the City tourney. The team captured their second sectional crown as they trounced Cha- tard 82-43. Using the new Pizza defense, the Satans struck revenge as they dumped Washington 72-60 to earn a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. The first game of the semi-state saw the Blue Devils battle Columbus 88-77 and then beat Richmond 81-58 to win their first semi-state crown. During the opening gome of the state finals, Shortridge had to press to defeat Marion 58-56, winning by Oscar Evans ' last-second shot. In the final game, Gary Roosevelt ' s height and the strain of the afternoon game took their toll. Coach Theo said, My boy just ran out of gas, as Ridge lost 68-60 and came within one step of completing their goal. ONE BY ONE, Forward Dave Holt snips the pieces of the prized Semi-State basket. 1967-68 VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES Opponent Ben Davis Opp. 69 SHS 73 Richmond 54 62 Wood 71 95 Pike 65 87 Muncie Centra! 70 83 Brebeuf 48 72 Cathedral 54 69 Attucks 60 66 1st Place Goshen Tourney Scecina 51 93 Arlington 63 95 Marshall 70 80 Chatard 53 85 Washington Tech Washington Manual Broad Ripple Connersville 60 55 77 61 38 72 55 53 75 96 96 79 1 , „ VICTORY fanis to fi Anderson 73 70 BRINGS CHEERING FANS to their feet and sportscaster Jim Wilson to Coach George Theo- id out the real facts behind Shortridge power .
