” Bill Eddins (Co-Capt.) Coach R. P. Carter Dick Wiggins (Co-Capt.) The season of 1946-1947 was a banner year for the Badger Basketball Team. The Blue and Grey hoopsters retained an undefeated record in Texas cage competition and thereby annexed the West Zone title of the Texas Junior College Athletic Conference in their first year as members of the league since 1936. On the basis of their victorious record the team was invited along with 15 other junior college quintets to participate in a tournament of national importance---the Western States College Tournament at Compton, California. Another significant item was the interest created by the hardwood sport, both in the college itself and the city of Amarillo. Whereas in 1936 only nine boys answered Coach Carter's call for the initial cage workouts, last fall 52 basketball enthusiasts reported to the coach for the opening practice session. Also for the first time in an undetermined number of seasons, the college gym was crowded with spectators at practically every Badger home game to attest to the interest of both students and the people of Amarillo. The scores for the season reveal a record of 17 victories and 4 defeats. Badgers 47 46 50 60 aS 55 4) 58 67 66 54 Opponent Weatherford New Mexico Milit. Inst.
