Slow Year for Trojan Cagers Struggling through another sluggish season the varsity cagers ended league play at 3-11. Nonleague competition ended at 1-1. Clarenceville secured vic- tories over Milford 70-72, Waterford Kettering 75-51, and Clarkston 65-55. Nonleague South Lyon also fell prey to the Trojans. The 3-ll record left CHS in seventh place in the Wayne Oakland County League standings. Bob Ridling led the Trojan offensive attack by netting a handsome sum of 277 points as a guard and forward. On the boards Ron LaMontagne joined Ridl- ing in pulling down the majority of Trojan rebounds. Several sophomores made future years for the team look brighter. Chip Meyrelles and Jim Hover were familiar faces among the starters and Meyrelles was one of the team's principle point producers. Clarenceville drew a bye in the first round of the state basketball tournament for the second year in a row and will meet Livonia Churchill in the second round shortly after this book goes to the press.
