Indians received a good draw for the Sectional and as it was the last of the year it was the last time for the REDSKINS to show what they really possessed in the form of basketball. Butler to play in their first game made things look a little brighter for the Indians but they fought hard, and came out with a 54-27 vicory tucked under their belts. After defeating Butler in the afternoon session, Clay came back Friday night to tangle with the strong Chili Polar Bears, which had come out on the long end of the score in two previous games against Clay. In the early minutes of the game the Indians grabbed an early lead only to lose it during the second period. The two teams see-sawed back and forth the remainder of the game with Clay standing on the long end of a 37-35 score at the sound of the gun. The Indians were able to stay in the race and come down the home stretch to the finals by pushing aside the Gilead Wildcats in the semi-finals on Saturday afternoon. The Redskins grabbed an early lead and hung on to it and added more to it as the game progressed. The final score stood 38-25. The setback came in the final game of the Sectional with the powerful Peru Tigers. 'The Indians managed to keep on even terms for the first few minutes of play, but due to the lack of power which had been drained out of them in the two previous games they had played the day before and during the game in the semi-finals with Gilead, they were not able to keep up with the pace set by the Tigers. After leading 33-111 at the first half, the Tigers won out with a 62-25 final score. 7 47
