As footbaH gained in favor. basebaH lost hnerest and is jx now'a.thing ofthe past The footbaH records of the past few years have been the best of any school around. In 1924. 1925. 1926 Convoy scored 381 points to then opponents 40. In nineteen galnes of those three years Convoy held Us opponents , scoreless. Games have been played with Celina, Antwerp, Oakwood, and Fort VVayne fi Central Catholics. The boys always furnish thrilling games for the fans, if Basketball has been a large factor in putting Convoy on the Athletic map. Even R if Convoy has been playing basketball less than ten years, the spirit in which f everyone entered it has caused its great popularny. The nrst year of organized 'Y basketballxvas in 1920. 'That year the teains had good records,in the county tourna- lfx ment, the boys losing after two overtime periods. However. the boys won over I Ridge in the next tournament. In 1923 the boys won ilfteen of the seventeen games played. Again Ridge de- ,Ji feated Convoy in the tournalnent but only by one point in the third overtime period. Convoy boys seem to like overtime periods and as well Ridge's team in the tourna- wli' ments. In 1924 Convoy boys not only won the county tournament but won three dy games, losing the fourth in one afternoon, in the Northwestern Ohio tournament at Detiance. W' The team of 1926 continued the record of losing only a few games of the season -1. and winning the county championship. Two of our boys were chosen for the Wi county albstar teanr i The fans certahHy received thQH'lUOHGY'S worth in 1927. A inajorhy of the 1' boys were experienced players. The boys did not win so many games du1'ing the yt season lmut worked into a winning teani at the end in preparation for the tourna- ,i ment. As a result they won the three games played in the County Tournament. Q. Convoy was honored by having two boys on HlE3lPSHH't6HU1lH each ofthe hrstthree M of the four tournaanents they parthnpated in that year.

Many fans followed the boys to Findlay to help them win. There they won the two games giving them the right to play in the finals at Columbus. The three tournaments were too much for the boys and resulted in their defeat in the Hrst galne at ColunUJus with Iiyatts High School Even if this year's team had fewer experienced players, they won more games of the season than did the teani of 1927. 'They were not quite so luck5'in the tourna- ments though, winning the County Championship, but losing the second game of the Lima Tournament. In the last five years Convoy boys have scored 1938 points f to their opponents 1439 points W The girls are not to be left out. A review of the records shows their teams were practically as good as the boys', but they were able to win the County Tournament only A a few times.

'WILLIAM MYERS, Captain 'l'his year the team elected two captains, William Myers and Gaylord Stemen. Gaylord and William eo- operated with the coach in a way that is commendable. Bill has been on the High School squad for three years. receiving a letter each year. His Senior year, however. gave him his regular posi- tion at left guard. Although Bill did not make very many points he de- serves mueh Credit for many of this seas0n's victories. as he was always ready to prevent his opponents from scoring. He was an exceptionally good guard and was always willing to fight until the anal whistle blew. Next year's team will miss him very much. A 3-letter man. COACH LIVINGSTON GAYLORD STEMEN, Captain Gaylord who is a Junior will mean much to next year's team. He has been on the team for two years- his Sophomore and Junior yea1's. He is the best iloor player C. H. S. has ever had, always ready to pass to someone else and never trying to be a high point, man. Although Gay- lord's position was forward, he was put on the mythical all county team at the 19251 tournament as right guard. A 2-letter man. Mr. Livingston began coaching basketball for C. H. S. in 1925-26. Each year that Mr. Living- ston has been in Convoy has seen a winning basket- ball team. Convoy having won the County Tourna- ment for three successive seasons-1925-19265 1926-19273 and 1927-1928. This record cannot be attributed to the players alone as a large part of the credit should go to Mr. Livingston. It should also be said that he has the good will and friend- ship of all his players, and during his three years of coaching there have been no boys on the teams. who could not play together without good will toward each other. NVQ hope Mr. Livingston will be back next year, pb f f A Y Y, X, - 1 17, :1 'L .1 '- y H Lt 19,28 i'f,-iii'-'-if-95C sV- Page S 7
