Sears. garfefda FACING a turnout of fifty hopeful aspirants, Coach Maki set about the difficult task of choosing a squad to wear the red and white of B. H. S. on the hardwood courts. The finished product proved that this was to be no mediocre year for the Red Raiders when it trounced a highly favored Wareham 5 in the first game. Losing to New Bedford Vocational, defeating their first two Cape opponents, the team met Yarmouth for the first time on enemy ground with a 3 and l record. Yarmouth won, but the Raiders repeated the old saying, Wait 'til next time. Meanwhile, they picked up four more wins. Finally the Dolphins invaded Barnstable. The game was a Hght from the word go, but when the dust settled. the scoreboard read B. H. S. 49, Yarmouth 41. The season ended with one loss and one win. Next came the Principal's Association Tournament to decide the Cape championship. Barnstable quickly disposed of Orleans and Chatham so that once again they met the Dolphins-this time for the title tilt. Two thousand fans at Camp Edwards arena saw the Barnstable lads, minus their star re- bounder, Jim O'Neil, again outplay the Green to bring the trophy home for the first time in five years. Two days later, the Barnstable combo was eliminated from the Tech Tourney by Dartmouth. There were several reasons for the Raider's great year, the great support and spirit of the student body, the outstanding coaching job of Mr. Maki, the fighting spirit of rookies jim O'Neil and jim San- ford, the height and rebounding of Mel Graves, the leadership and fine performances of co-captains Harrv Maddox and John Roy Germani. At the first annual Boosters' Club banquet the Most Valuable Plzivfir award went to John Germani while jim O'Neil was given the Most Improved Player award
