Season's Summar At the beginning of the Season it looked as if Mr. Murray might not develop a good Ball Club in 1940-Atl. However, by Mr. Murrays coaching and the boys' eagerness they developed into n first-4-lass five. At the beginning of the season they started rolling up large scores with the local teams. The team won six straight games before they were handed their first lost by Auburn. They came back with a seven point victory over the strong team of Mun- fordville but were beaten by Simpson County High by a margin oi' one point. The boys then won over Horse Cave, Cave City and College High before they were beaten again by Simpson County High. Munfordville got revenge in the next game by defeating Stfottsville by four points. Tho Pointers next defeated Auburn and Vyoodburn under Mr. Murray's coaching. On January 23, Mr. Jones took over the coaching duties be- cause Mr. Murray went away to tahe a position in Alabama. The team then defeated Franklin and Glasgow and went into the South- ern Kentucky Conference Tournament at Horse Cave as favorites to win. They won the Conference Tourney by defeating Franklin 318-21. YYoodburn 43-26 and defeated Munfordville in the tinals by the score of 335-19. The Pointers won their next five games 'and in the last game of the season were defeated, their Ilfth defeat of the season, by Col- lege High by a margin of one point. Scottsville went into the District Tournament at Glasgow with lgigh hopes of winning. They won their game with Austin-Tracy by 52-26. The Pointers were defeated by Cave City in the semi-iinals: a team which they had twice beaten during the season play. The final score was Cave City 34 and Scottsville 27. Although the boys lost they got. a trophy which was almost as good as the winner's trophy a11d that was the sportsmanship trophy.
