Bruins slashed down sectional nets. Tlie Bruins of Jon Stroup, expected to win the Sectional, drew a bye and then bombarded the Eastbrook Panthers, 76-48. In the evening game, the Bruins again feasted — on Panthers — by down- ing Portland, 66-49. The Bruins then advanced to the Re- gional and were to meet Marion. The Bruins and the Giants battled to the gun and when the dust cleared, the score was tied at 68 apiece. Then came the best three minutes of the young Bruins ' ca- reer as they hooped 12 points while holding the Giants to a measly two. After winning this one, the Bruins were ousted in the final game by Carmel in a 76-67 duel, thus ending the Bruins ' bid for the Regional. Bruin forward Jerry Broivn lays up an easy two pointer in the Portland game. Holding high the spoils of victory. Coach Jon Stroup speaks of his Bruin squad and the achieve- ment of their goal to the students of BHS at the pre-regional pep session. The saga almost at its end, Neil Stroble strives to control the tip as teammates Dennis Pratt, Tex Johnson, Dave Holloway and Jerry Brown await the outcome.

Cubs posted 15-5 record In first year The BHS Cubs under the supervision of Coach Crain proved that a strong bench plus a little bit of guts is the key to success, as they won 15 of 20 games and were consolation victors in the Wes Del Tourney. The JVs went into the tourney with a 5-3 record and picked Delta for their first game. This proved disastrous, as Delta defeated them, 53-45, despite a last quarter Cub rally. The JVs didn ' t give up but came back to beat York- town in the consolation game 53-47 in an overtime. After the tourney, the Cubs turned in an impressive 9-1 record.
