Catalina High School - Torch Yearbook (Tucson, AZ)

Page 73 text:

Catalina's varsity basketball team began the 67-68 season with four of last year's five starters and an experi- enced second string, but they could only manage to compile a 12-9 record. By losing 9U-77 to Tucson, Troy marked its fifth straight year of losing the first game of the division tourna- ment. ln that game the Trojans, behind during all four quarters, were led by Don Cornelius who scored 17 points. Although the cagers couldn't mount a big winning streak, they did surprise the experts by beating Pueblo, a team that played twice in the tournament for the state championship, and also by taking two from highly-considered Salpointe. In the post season All-City poll Don Cornelius, averaging 14 points a game, was given third team honors. Troy's other representatives were hon- orable mention guard Iohn Smiley and Iay Nading while Chuck Davis was awarded honorable mention forward. i , !
