of gas in the second half and dropped a 68-59 decision to the Wildcats. Against Kent Roosevelt, Hoban pro- vided a balanced attack with Fortney scoring 18 points, Denny Testa 17, and Pete Caporaletti 15, to defeat the Kent team 67-58. The Knights first meeting of the year with St. Vin- cent was a truly disappointing event. Hindered by the scrappy play of the Irish, Hoban was unable to get things rolling, and as a result, came out on the short end of the 36-35 final tally. A week later Hoban came on strong and defeated the Irish 64-56 for their most satisfying victory of the season. In this and the first tournament game, john Neidert came into his own, and he was awarded the most improved player award by the coaches. In tournament play, Hoban won the first game, the first time in four years, by outlasting Garretsville Gar- field 69-60. Against Stow, the Knights pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the tournament by squeaking past the Bulldogs who had an 18-1 record, with a score of 53-51 in triple overtime. In the finals of the Cuyahoga Falls Sectional, Hoban met tall and talented East. Playing their finest game of the season, the Knights were behind by only one at the half 26-25, but the height of the Orientals was felt in the second half as they defeated Hoban 63-57. The best season in the school's history records vic- tories, defeats, hard-fought games, surprises, and undying school spirit. What the team lacked in height it made up in speed and endurance. Student backing exemplified the pride everyone felt in this year's efforts. Coach Read- out looks forward to an even better season next year with the return of sophomore Tim Fortney and juniors Pete Caporaletti and Dan Kramer. Along with them are everal promising underclassmen. Hoban's on the way 0 becoming a basketball power worth note. iii' Team captain, Denny Testa, 5'7 playmaker, led the Knights to a fine season record.
