Reserves Nab All But Two Games The ZHS Blue Imps under Coach Bill Damsel racked up an enviable 15-2 record. Their only losses were to Martins Ferry 40-51, and Chillicothe 38-46. In non-league contests, they won over Co- lumbus West 41-29, New Philadelphia 56-21, Manasfield 51-38, Cambridge 54-43, Dayton Roth 50-42, and Columbus Central 70-44. Against COL opponents, the Imps twice de- feated Marietta 47-32 and 50-43, Lancaster 44- 24 and 49-18, Cochocton 50-41 and 48-41, and Newark 36-29 and 56-55. They once conquered Chillicothe 63-57. The Reserves chalked up 871 points while holding opponents to 674. Al- though they had several close games, the tightest was a squeaker against Newark, which the Imps won 56-55. Varsity Coach Stahl naturally has an eye on some of this talent for next year’s first team. Jump ball-- Zanesville get it! goes the yell as the Blue Imps battle for the ball against Newark. P.S. We won it. Larry Browning of the reserve team soars high in the air as he gets off a shot against Marietta in the local gym. 30
