boys' basketball squad wins first sub-state title in school histor a sub-state championship and a chance at the state crown became a reality for the eagles. for the first time in carroll history, the team earned the right to go to lawrence to compete in the 4-a basketball play-offs by defeating campus 63-58 at sub-state march 8. carroll's winning season didn't happen overnight. after athletic dir- ector lyle rutter assumed the posi- tion of head basketball coach in september due to mr. bill hunt- zinger's resignation, he led the team to six city league victories. before their trek to lawrence, the eagles squeaked by 5-a city league opponents, like the 76-72 upset over north in overtime. other close ones weren't as successful. another extra minute contest ended up with the eagles on the lower end of the scor- ing spectrum: the 65-62 heartbreak- er against heights. in addition, car- roll fans were disappointed at the earlier 72-70 loss to the redskins. it seemed like we did this all year, mr. rutter explained about the close league contests. we'd get a lead and then get conservative. i l guess we didn't have the killer in- stinct. the c0ach's early prediction that carroll would not just be like a doormat like in years past came true toward the end of the regular season. they edged east 64-60 feb- ruary 25 before winning the sub- state title at haysville. 1 A A illl . ,gi ...,,... ,1iiQl1iT f.f.lT'.

r-til J' ,Q-L' boys' basketball team gains state berth, nabs fourth in finals going to state wasn't a new experience for coach lyle rutter. he had taken teams to the play-offs before, but it was a first in carroll's basketball history. it was exciting for the team. when the fellows walked into allen fieldhouse, their mouths just dropped open, remembered mr. rutter. following the style of close games, was the first game against highland park. the eagles maintained a sizeable lead throughout the game with the exception of the last few minutes. the scotties rallied in the last quar- ter, but failed to overtake the eagle offense, posting a final score of 50-48. in contrast to the win, was the second game on friday evening. carroll was outscored 45-62 by salina central, who went on to grab the class 4-a championship. after another disappointing loss to pittsburg, the squad wound up in fourth place. personally i think we made great strides in improv- ing upon the basketball program at carroll high. look out for carroll. they will be as good in the future as any city league team, concluded mr. rutter. -.v -ur N H-1' A3 42 page one hundred thirty seven boys' basketball
