to form Range-Line Conference Taylor began conference play for the first year in the school ' s history. Competition in cross country, wrestling, track, golf, and baseball began during the 1970-71 school year. Due to scheduling conflicts, conference play in basketball and football will not start until the 1972-73 season. Schools involved in the con- ference are Taylor, Tri-Central, Hamilton Heights, Hamilton Southeastern, Sheridan, and Westfield. The name Range-Line was derived from the old Range- Line Road, now the U.S. Highway 31. All schools border the road. The conference cross country meet was held with Randy Sellers running the course in 9:47. Of course, all marks will be es- tablished with this being the first year of loop play. e Sliding past an opponent, Mark Griffin lays it up for two. f Tony Gabriel and Randy Sellers are honored at the Fall Sports Banquet, g Slipping from the grasp of a Westfield defender, Randy Parvin breaks away in the fog for a long run.
