Hvans Basket Ball Review The 1935-36 basketball season was highly successful lor Berrien. The boys won 16 oui of 16 games in scheduled play. During the whole season the boys won IS out of 20. The first loss was at Niles in the Christmas Tournament. Three Oaks defeated Berrien there 15-13. Berrien got revenge, though, by beating Three Oaks twice in scheduled play. The second loss was chalked up in the opening round of the County Tournament at Niles. Bridgman was the winning team. Berrien had beaten Bridgman twice in scheduled play but the team had its worst night of the season and was beaten 21-11. There were several highlights of the season. The first was the game with Buchanan at Berrien Springs. We won 31-30 after the game had gone into two overtimes. Another bright spot of the season was when Berrien defeated Niles at Niles by the decisive score of 20-27, a little revenge for the loss to Niles three years ago. Another highlight was when Berrien beat Buchanan on Buchanan’s floor by the score of 28-20. As far as we know, this is the first time Berrien ever won on the Buchanan floor. The last game of the season, with Three Oaks, was a thriller. The team was handicapped by an extremely low ceiling and a small court. Before a packed house Berrien won 14-13. The Berrien Springs team showed the fans that they could go into the last quarter trailing in score, but still win the game. Nearly three-fourths of the games were won in the last quarter by rallies. One of the best rallies Berrien made was at page twenty-eight

Athletics Reitz, I load Icy, Michael, Stover, Shearer, Manager Kesterke, Shafer, Sherwood, Nightlinger, Hogue Second Basket Ball Team The Second Team had a very successful basketball season, winning all of their games but one, which they lost to Stevcnsville. They are a group of hard fighting boys who will not give up. The regulars on the team are as follows—Sherwood, R. F.; Shafer, L. F.; Storick, C.; Hogue, L. G.; Neidlinger, R. G. All of these boys have joined in the scoring, although Shafer was high with 140 points. They have all earned their letters. Other members of the team are as follows: Stover, Michael, Kesterke, Hoadley, and Reitz, all of whom will receive their letters with the exception of Reitz who was out of a few games due to illness. All the boys showed the Berrien Springs basketball fans some great basketball this season, and we all hope they can do as well or even a little better next season, for they all have that fighting spirit that it lakes to win basketball games. page thirty
