Official predictions painted a very dismal picture regarding the for- tunes of the 1953-54 edition of the Anna Rockets. Despite this pessimis- tic forecast, Coach Green molded the Rockets into a formidable unit capable of competing with the best this area could offer. On November 20th, before an overflow crowd in the local gym, Anna subdued arch rival Jackson Center, 65-59. Jim chalked up 32 points to lead the scoring parade in this encounter. Ft. Loramie became the first league casualty of this potent Anna team by a score of 65-38. Anna maintained a comfortable lead through- out.

The Russia Raiders were dealt a 49-36 lacing for the Rockets' fifth straight league victory. Hulsmeyer played an outstanding game to lead the scoring with 22 points.

Hunts- ville fell before the Rockets, 56-53, in a closely contested encounter. Anna lost its third game of the season to a well-balanced Cridersville team, 67-47.
