After the holidays, on Jan. 5, the Otsego second team collapsed before the attack of the Cubs, 28-2L. Now enjoying a three-game-winning record, the junior varsity, on Jan. 12, fell prey to the Hastings Reserves, 29-20. The little Tigers could not overcome a 22-19 deficit in the third period. A week later, on Jan. 19, the Zeeland reserves again met their Waterloo, when Allegan eked out a 19-17 win. Again the reserves dropped a contest, Jan. 23, to the South Haven outfit, 27-21, although the Cubs were pacing their opponents, 21-19, at the end of three quarters of play.
