The Coolidge High School Bears opened their basketball season with a five game win streak be- fore the Tempe Buffaloes snaped it with a ,43436 victory. At the opening of the season the Bears were without the service of several of their regu- lars. This was due to the North-South football game and to injuries received during the football season. Even with this handicap the Bears had little trouble downing a determined five from Mar- ana 43-34. After the Tempe defeat the Bears came back in great style to smother both Chandler and Hayden with lopsided scores. When the week of the Florence game came along the Bears were determined to snap a four game losing streak to the Gophers. At the end of the regular game the score was 3Lup. In a two minute over time the Gophers were able to take a two point lead 36 +0 34. So again, five straight, the Gophers had come out on top. The following week the Bears expected to take an easy victory from the weak Cougars, but again the overconfidence never pays off. Coolidge came out under the heap 34 to 36. The Bears now sought revenge for two defeats and took their next two games in short order. With the Marana game coming up the Bears figured they would have no trouble, but at the end of the game Marana was on top by a score of 33 to 28. - Determined now to come out of their slump the Bears bounced back with a 42 to 27 victory over the strong Tempe five. The Bears now came to the top only losing one more game of their regular season to Mesa 44 to 34. In the second of their two game series with Florence the Bears de- termined to snap that five game win streak, and when the dust and smoke had cleared the Bears were on top 27 to 25.
