Basketball Cubberley's 12111 basketball season was highlighted by the team's comefthrough performance in the Los Altos B Tourney over the Christmas holidays. After seeing their early season sixfgame win streak shattered in the opening round of tourney play, the Cougars bounced back for victories over Washington of Fremont and Mounf tain View to garner a fifth place trophy. Instrumental in both of the winning performances was allfS.P.A.L. and allftournament center Murray Cuidi whose shooting and rebounding pulled the Cougars ahead after a pair of lirstfhalf slumps. Following the tourney, the team could only muster four wins. One of these was a major upset over the Sequoia Cherokees, 44f40. Other impressive victories in the early season were over Lowell of San Francisco, Andrew Hill, and Mountain View. The lightweights had four major upsets in the making but blew the scoring lead in the opening round of their S.P.A.L. schedule. The team finished sixth in the league chase with a 3f9 record.
