Resume of Season Getting off to a slow start at the beginning of the basket-ball season due to the fact that there was a scarcity of experienced players the Boonville boys hit their stride before mid-season, and from then on gave a good account of themselves in keeping with the basket-ball tradition of the school. The team was composed mostly of boys who had never gone out for basket-ball before the beginning of the present season, and luckily this was a group of willing workers. Only three players had ever played any varisty basket-ball. These boys were Mock, Stinson, and Woodruff. with these boys supplying the nucleus, Coach Deal built a team that was good enough to win 22 out of 51 games against the best competition in the Northwest. Mock led the individual scoring parade with 465 points, while Stinson trailed him closest with 204. By his sterling performance through-out all the season, and especially in the greatest of all tournaments, the Journal and Sentinel, Mock won a place on the A11-tournament team. Other boys going a long way toward making this a successful basket-ball season were: Curtis Hobson, Fred Coram, Robert Burgess, Billy Brendle, Loyd Burgess, Harold Stinson, James Stewart, and Gilbert Pardue.
