David Kagey made 24 points in the 76-62 win. Just three days later, the Knights suffered a hard loss to RE. Lee by 12 points. This seemed to set the pace for the next few games. The team collected another win from E.C. Glass, but lost the hard way in three overtimes to Heri- tage. After this tough loss, the Knights began their first winning streak of the season. Before Christmas, they started with a win from Northside. While other students were eating turkey leftovers, the team was practicing. llWe got about four days off for Christmas, said David Kagey. uThe snow also messed up the schedule? said Steve Ewers ttWe would try to plan to visit colleges or something and there would be a makup game or practice. All the practice did help though. After Christ- mas, the team was geared up, ready to go and won their next four games. Then all of a sudden the walls come tumbling down.

TtWe knew it was coming and thought we were prepared, but our plays were not working and none of the other guys were hitting that nightf, said coach Ed Peterson. After the devastation of the PH. loss, the Knights were up and ready for William Fleming.
