Final records show that the freshman 'B' squad won 13 games while losing only one to earn the best CHS mark. Frosh 'A' players tallied a 6-9 win-loss record to hold a strong second. Sophomores also held a fairly even season as they topped five matches and dropped seven. Many of these boys saw double action as they moved into B-team posts during the year in the continuing Campus building program.

Future Varsiyz Seasons Growth also affected the B-squad as players moved to fill varsity positionsg and inexperience led them to a tough schedule. This team did pull decisive victories over El Dorado, Ark City, Hutchinson, and Newton to tally a 4-12 mark. Even though the records seem unimpressive, the experience gained by the reserves is an important step in the development of teams, spirit, and leadership. Through this growth players, coaches, and spectators share hopes of more united teams and stronger varsity seasons. Coach Layton discusses plays for the final sopho- more game with his team.
