BASKETBALL SEASON 1946-1947 Thirty boys reported for basketball at the beginning of the season, but after a number of practices Coach Hewitt cut the squad to fifteen boys. The line-up for our first game included, Lloyd Carmicheal and Steve Bonne as guards, Iohn Gerogeson and Russell Bremer as forwards and Darrell Samuelson as the center. Later Robert Courtney replaced Sam- uelson as the center. Georgeson changed to guard and Carmicheal shifted to forward. This line-up developed into the finest working team we have had in years, as every boy worxed for the team and not for nimself. Our boys averaged 5 feet 9 inches in height, a comparatively small team. Yet they made up for it in ability and aggressiveness. In our regular season we won 15 and lost '7 games. ln conference play we had a record of 8 wins and 4 losses, finishing in third place. This is one of the best averages a Capron team has had in the past few years. In the Hebron District Tournament, we won the first game from Alden, '73 to 21. The highlight of this game was Russell Bremer who scored 26 points. We used ,all of our nine players, dividing up the time for each. The next game was played against St. Edwards of Elgin, the winner of last year's tournament. Our boys fought hard, but it just wasn't their night, as we lost 48 to 33. St. Edwards has an enrollment twice the size of Capron's and from this they put together a big, fast team. Even though we lost, our bosy deserved credit for their spirit and aggressiveness. Of the first ten men, seven are graduating. They are Lloyd Carmich- ael, Russell Bremer, Steve Bonne, Robert Courtney, Darrell Samuelson, Donald johnson, and Linay Burge. The three remaining players are John 1.i6?iJI'g'F'3L3O1'l, Stanley Mikrut, and Earl Smith. Some good players are coming up from the underclassmen, so we have prospects of having a- n ither good season. I
