The boys' team had scheduled 12 games for the high school year of 1948-1947. Their first game was played with and at Cambridge High School on December 13, 1946 and we lost the game by a score of 23 to 41. The second game was played in St. Michaels High School with the St. Michaels Athletic Club. It was a very close game all oi the way through and had everyone on the edge of their chairs. The scores at the quarters were as follows. High School 12 to Athletic Club 13, High School 13 to Athletic Club 23, High School 26 to Athletic Club 32, and in the last quarter, High School 42 to Athletic Club 39, Trippe putting in 16 of the points and Regan 18. On Ianuary 13 the return game was played with Cambridge High School. This game was also very close until the last quarter. The scores by quarters ran as follows: St. Michaels High 7 to Cambridge High 6, St. Michaels High 13 to Cambridge 10. St. Michaels High 15 to Cambridge High 16 and finally Cambridge High School 35 to St. Michaels 21. Trippe making high score of 9 points. The next game was at East New Market High School on .,,..................,...,..............,...,.. . In this game 13 of the squads' boys had an opportunity to participate. The final score was East New Market High School 13 to St. Michaels High School 36. On Ianuary 21 we played Sudlersville High in our school auditorium and were victorious with a score of 39 to 29. The first game with Easton was played at St. Michaels High School. The boys on the St. Michaels' squad who got to play were Walton Regan, Richard Trippe, Charles Leubecke, Robert Cole, Bill Mothershead, Bobby Caulk, Bill Brink and Dick Hamill. Our iinal score was 38. seventeen of which were made by Walton Regan and sixteen by Richard Trippe. But Easton was victorious with 44 points. These were the scores of some of the games which St. Michaels High School has participated. After playing our last scheduled game we went to Hurlock to play Vienna High in the Class D playoffs. The game was very interesting and close score all the way through. In the last 15 seconds of the game Vienna made the winning basket and we lost the game by one point. We feel that the 1947 basketball season was very successful and we are very confident that next year's team will make as good a showing for St. Michaels High School in the 1948 basketball season. In the games played by taking the final number of points made by all our opponents and adding them and then by taking the final number of points secured by our team and adding them, we find that St. Michaels High School would have around 269 points and all our opponents 289. We have not tried to write a description of each game but to give more of a general glance toward the whole season's playing Page 28
