HOBAN KNIGHTS HAVE TRYING SEASON The 1961362 Hoban Knights basketball team in the course of the season compiled an overall record of three wins and fifteen losses. The Knights opened the season with a 57-44 loss to the perennial power, Akron South. The Cavaliers led all the way, as evidenced by the half-time score of 26-19. Mike Urbano tumed in a beautiful per- formance for the losers, tallying 20 points. For their second game the Knights traveled to Canton, but lost to the powerful Canton Central Catholic Crusaders by a score of 58-29. The night was marked by a particularly poor shooting average, which partly accounted for the low score. Even the Christmas season brought no wins for the Knights as they lost to Tallmadge on Dec. 22, by a margin of 66-55. Hoban led for the first and sec- ond periods, but was unable to control the Blue Devils as they tallied for 26 points in the third period. Hoban next played Akron Central and lost. The Wildcat 67-50 victory was ignited by Bruce Moore, who scored 28 points. Misfortune continued to rain upon the Knights as they lost a heated 57-55 game to Mansfield Madison. It appeared the Knights would win as they led through most of the game, but they were able to score only two points in the last period. The Knights reversed their losing streak on Ian. 6 when they met and defeated the Coventry Comets. The two high scorers for Hoban in their first victory were Ed Lieberth and Mike Urbano. This was the first Hoban win in six starts. Hoban dropped the next game to the Barberton Magics in a virtual 65-46 route. The Knights were led all the way. This put the season record at 1 and 6. Mike Urbano was high man for both teams with 24 points. Beating Akron St. Mary,s on Ian. 12, Hoban picked up its second win of the year. The Knights jumped to an early lead and had no trouble pulling out a 62-47 victory. But winning was not to be the forte of the Knights this season, for in the next game they met the unde- feated St. Vincent Irish, who rolled over them. The Knight's were no match for the Irish, who amassed 82 points to Hoban's 47. Canton Timken defeated the Knights by a score of 62-54 although they only held a one point lead at halftime. On the following night the Knights lost to Ken- more. They were unable to stop the Cardinals even after they had been able to contain Kenmoreis scor- ing threat, Gary Bishop. After their first loss of the season, St. Vincent came roaring back and meted out vengeance on Hoban with an 81-61 romp over the Knights. This was the second time of the year that the Irish had beaten Hoban. Hoban next lost to Mansfield St. Peter by the score of 106-59. The Knights were far outclassed and the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Hoban dropped her next two games to Akron Buchtel and Lakewood St. Edward's by the respec- tive scores of 80-66 and 60-51. It was against Buchtel
