They completed a successful A-team season at 8-5, and the B team finished with an unblemished 10-0 record. The A-Team entered the Southern Wells Invitational Tourney with an even 4-4 record, but won the tourney and two of their final three games to end a good season. A-Team wins came at the ex- pense of Eastbrook, Marion Washington, Huntington, Alexandria, Wes-Del, Delta, Southern Wells and South Adams. Indi- vidual scoring helped the frosh to their record. Rick Sutton and LeRoy Robbins led the scorers, followed closely by three more team members. The B-Team finished the season with a perfect 10-0 slate.
