At the beginning of every new season, Bentley High's tradition of championship creates a great desire in all school teams to carry on that tradition. This year's team was no exception, as the Bulldogs won their first thirteen games, and went on to add a league title on nine wins and one loss. Additions to the Bentley trophy case included the Suburban Six League trophy, the 1960 Christmas Tournament trophy, and the District award. Co-captains Jim Carmichael and Ron Bogoyevac both earned positions on the all-league team, as well as honors on several newspaper selections of All-State teams. Bentley's cagers met the championship tradition with a more than adequate season record of 18 wins and two losses. J ,fl xjg V 357 -'P l
