A-team Improved Past Record A much-improved ball team held a-.4-4 record in league play during the 1972-73 basketball season. The A-team Pirates' overall rec- ord consisted of 11 victories and 15 losses--a gain over the pre- vous year. Nine boys made up the team, with seven playing enough quarters to become lettermen, while three boys served as mana- gers, keeping the charts and records straight. The biggest upset the Pirates pulled was a 58-53 victory over Greenwood Laboratory School. That team had been rated by the SPRINGFIELD NEWS Sz LEADER, as one of the toughest. A great deal of pride was exhibited by CHS after that win. During January, the annual Southwest Central League Tournament was held at Ga- lena. The Pirates lost the first game to Reed's Spring, but won the other two. They beat Verona by 1 point, and scored 4 more than ri- val Galena -towin a consolation trophy. Homecoming was the last big game of the season. The Pirates fought hard against the Gale- na Bears. However, it was a dying effort with a loss of 1 point, 59-58. With an improved record behind them, and high spirits, the Pirates faced the 1973-'74 season.
