' Lg...-' BASKETBALL December 9-Payne Here-21-13 The Convoy boys opened their 1927-28 season with a decisive victory over Payne. The team and Coach should have much credit as Gaylord Stemen was the only regular left from last year's team. December 16-York There-22-18 This game was a very hard one and the boys surprised the county basketball fans by defeating York, one of the strongest teams in the county. This game showed that, even though Convoy had lost most of their regulars, they were coming back with a new team that was looking for the County Tournament Trophy. December 23-Ohio City Here-27-14 Convoy boys won their third game of the season by a large margin. The boys were showing great team work, passing and working the ball through the loop of Ohio City's basket for pot shots time and again. January 7-Payne There-10-4 The Christmas vacation did not spoil basketball for Convoy's boys, for they went to Payne and won their fourth consecutive victory of the season. The game was close and many fouls were called on both teams. January 10-Middlepoint Here-22-8 Middlepoint came to Convoy with the strongest team in years with the expectation of winning and placing themselves prominent in basketball news but Convoy defeated them by a large score. T January 14-Fort Wayne Central Catholics There-13-26 Convoy boys went to Fort Wayne expecting to win-not having lost any games thus far, but Fort Wayne had a veteran team, having the same players as they had last year. The Fort Wayne boys gave our team the first defeat of the season. All the boys went in to Fort Wayne's basket for several nice short shots but were unable to locate the center of the rim which accounts for their first defeat. January 20-Pauldirr Here-11-14 Paulding which is a class A school, CConvoy, class BJ brought a very good team to Convoy. The Convoy boys seemed to lack some of the tight they had been having all year and received their second defeat of the season. In this game, Howard Giessler made the most sensational basket of the season when he was substituted for Gage Helms at forward. Howard went on the floor with the score 9-14 in favor of Paulding and made a long shot that never touched the rim of the loop. January 27-York Here-16-15 York came to Convoy resenting their first defeat early in the season, playing an overtime period with the Red and White. The C. H. S. boys seemed to have a hard time locating York's basket by missing several easy shots-but they had the tight which sent York back home with their second defeat of the season at the hands of Convoy. f 1928 Page 90 A
