32 THE GATHERER BOYS BASKETBALL Mr. Gott started his second year at the reins of the Stags with a coach's de- sire, the same team returning to action. The Stags did not lose a member of the team by graduation, so Mr. Gott had the same team he had last year to mold into championship contention. The team consisted of Loring Kydd, John Sullivan, Arthur Poitras, Roger Godard, Eugene Eaton, Neville Hardy, Thomas Cole, Robert Milan, William Haskell, Richard Quinn, Robert Smith, and Willard Knight, who joined late in the season. We traveled to the Round Robin at Ellsworth in Pre-season play. The boys showed excellent poise and form even though they did lose by a small margin the two quarters in which they played. The Stags opened the season against Castine and defeated them 51-25. The next game was the big one of the season as far as the fans and Stags were concerned as they met and defeat- ed Stonington in a close game 57-53. After dropping the next game to a visiting East Corinth squad, which finished their season unblemished, 54- 39, they picked their next three with victories over Ellsworth Freshmen 61- 44, Blue Hill in a close one, 57-53, and Brooksville, 76-30. We then traveled to East Corinth where we were again defeated 90-47. The Stags fell to the Alumni 62-46 and Mt. Desert 56-44 before bounding back with victories over Blue Hill in a very close game 65-64, and Castine 48-35. The Stags then met Stonington again. The Rockets had improved greatly and defeated our boys 56-40. Mt. Desert again defeated us 77-40. We swapped victories with Sumner winning 44-41 over there and losing at Stonington 55-49. In our next game we beat Brooksville 102-31, and lost our final regular sched- uled game to the Bucksport J. V. 74-51. The Stags were picked to play Ston- ington in a play-off game to see who would play Mt. Desert. We lost to a very goo d Ston- ington team 72-48 to end another cage season. Deer Isle improved greatly over last season winning nine and losing eight compared to last year's six and thirteen record. The Stags have practically the same 'team returning next year with the ex- ception of Bill Knight, Art Poitras, and Bob Smith, so the boys ought to make everybody sit up and take notice next year. 1956-1957 Scores Deer Isle Opponent 51 Castine 25 57 'l:Stonington 53 39 i:East Corinth 54 61 Ellsworth Frosh 44 57 i:Blue Hill 53 76 Brooksville 30 47 East Corinth 90 46 'tAlumni 62 44 Mt.
