But were unable to defeat Bangor who handed Cashton its only defeats all through the season, beating them three times. They, however, handed Bangor tough competition and whose better score by a margin of 55-32 overtook West Salem for the Tournament Championshis. The star team included our own nFarley' ickman. Four players of the Cashton cage champions were placed on the all conference team selected by the coaches of the Monroe-Vernon Conference loop. The only unanimous choice was 'Farley.' Others were Jim Schwelger, Vic Bates, and Duane Anderson.
