Although the team was plagued by a series of misfortunes and bad luck the whole season, the Coolidge High Roundballers struggled valiantly against all opposition. Faced almost continuously by injuries and illnesses which ranged from sprained ankles to a case of pneumonia, the Bears never- theless put on some remarkably fine performances throughout the season's competition. Running up against some very stiff competition, the Bears proved to be tough contenders even though the outcome was often unfavorable for the Coolidge squad.
