The B-squad basketball team completed the most successful season of all the winter sports teams with a 13-2 record. Widefield was the only team to defeat the Marauders. The roundballers defeated both Was- son and Palmer twice. From all indications, the sopho- mores will be a boost to the JV and varsity teams of next year.

O U, OGC l CAPTAIN KENT WALTON raises his hand in a gesture of victory over his Palmer opponent. Because nine varsity wrestlers graduated last year, the 1967-1968 season started slowly. As the season moved toward a climax, the team showed improve- ment by winning their final two conference meets against Palmer and Trinidad. Dan Ruiz and Kent Walton both won first place in the district wrestling tournament. Ed Bishop, Bruce Clarke and Al Quintana captured seconds with Steve Morgan placing third. Mitchell placed fourth in the team standings in district which was hosted by Mitchell. Standouts for this year's team were Ed Bishop, Al Quintana, Dan Ruiz, and Kent Walton. Ed Bishop placed third at the state meet in the 154-pound clas- sification. With a strong finish at the end of the season, Coach Bill Gordon has high hopes for a good 1968-69 season.
