A strong desire and winning spirit helped the basketball team obtain second place in the Washington State Class B tournament. To reach the tournament and play for the state champion- ship has been a long sought goal of Davenport High School, and this year's team fulfilled it by working hard and continually improving during the season. After winning its way to a North-side champ- ionship, the team then played for the Bi-County title and defeated Ritzville in a well-remembered victory. As Bi-County champions, the team went to the Northeast District tournament and again showed its strength by victories over Freeman and Odessa. ln the championship game the team experienced a few bad breaks and was defeated, but it did win the second place trophy and a berth in the state tournament. The Gorillas found stronger competition at the state tournament, however, a combined team effort brought victories over Connell, Rosalia, and Napavine and placed the team in the champ- ionship game. The final game with St. John was one of the closest and most exciting games of the tourna- ment and the victory could have gone either way. Although the team did lose in the final minute of play, it gave a performance of which the school and team could be proud. Ron Childs earned a position on the Bi- County All-Star team and was the All-State first team. Jerry Millard, John Remington, Don Hutsell all received honorable state tournament. also selected to Williams, David Strate, and Don mention at the Courtesy of Ed's Barber Shop and Dorian Studio
