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
