FOOTBALL The fighting Warriors of 1 942 finished a very successful season with a record of six wins, two defeats, and one tie. The Warriors finished in third berth in the E. I. League. In the opening game the Warriors toured to Charleston to nip Charleston T. C. by a 13-7 margin. With one game safely tucked away, the Warriors tore into the Nokomis eleven and came out on the top end of a 1 2-0 score. With the memory of two victories, the Warriors went to Palestine and nosed them out by a 14-13 margin. To prove that their last game was not a happen so.” the Warriors crushed the Oblong eleven 45-6. Then came the game between the Warriors and the Robinson Maroons, which ended in a 6-6 deadlock. Paris was then beaten to the tune of 40-7. Hopes for the Casey eleven were high, but they were finally tripped by a strong Charleston City team by a narrow margin of 7-0. The morale of the Warriors was still good, for they beat Martinsville 19-13. Thanksgiving Day, the Warriors were beaten by a good Marshall team to the score of 13-26. Thus, the curtains were drawn and the Warriors had done their job. We are sure that next year's team will miss the great playing of Don Galey. Bud Ballinger. Bull Arney. Leon Reeder. Norm Ulrey. Bill Speakman. and cocaptains. Charles Sherman and Roland McDonald. We are proud of the Warriors and their record for they have kept the torch of Fame still burning. The Victory Flame 213

BASKETBALL The Warriors of Casey had a fairly successful season this year, better than their record of seventeen victories and eleven defeats indicates. They won the Clark County Tournament, placed second in the Kansas Invitational, and fourth in the Eastern Illinois League Tourney. They played well at times, the best games being played against Kansas, the third time; Charleston, in tht E. I.: and Robinson. They also played two good games against Paris, although they were defeated by them. There were also some low points in the season, these coming against Hutsonville in the E. I. and Kansas in the Kansas Tourney. You might say that Casey's record doesn’t look so impressive to you, but look at the competition they have faced: Paris rated second in the state and East St. Louis. Kansas, Palestine, and Flora all receiving honorable mention at the time they defeated us. That leaves only four defeats at the hands of unrated teams, and the Warriors gained revenge for two of these and also from Kansas. The second team did all right by itself, too, winning ten and losing three; two of these were by two points, so Casey fans have something to look forward to. The first ten this year was composed of six seniors, namely: Paul Cook. Bud Ballinger, Don Galey, Charles Sherman, Harry Eumont. and Bill Arney; two juniors; Lee Markwell and Jim Sharp: and two sophomores: Kent Morgan and Burl Ping. There was no captain this year, a different one being picked for each game. The honorary captain selected by the team at the close of the season was Bud Ballinger. If that formidable foe, Paris, wasn’t in this section of the state, those Fighting Warriors of Casey might have been one of the Sweet-Sixteen this year. Coaches Brady and Tedrick together with the entire team deserve a lot of credit. 24 The Victory Flame
