(Ba ksdbcdL The Casey Warriors completed their season with seventeen victories to eleven losses. With a face value as one of the better teams in the Eastern Illinois Conference the Warriors won second place just four points behind Robinson. The Warriors’ scoring power was slashed when Uncle Sam beckoned to two veterans, Burl Ping and Kent Morgan. However, their places were readily filled and the rest of the squad proved their ability. Under the tutorage of Coach Max Brady and Assistant Coach Walter “Buck” Correll, the local cagers totaled 941 points to their opponents’ 801.
