On November 26, 1939 Couch Prank Brickev and his J oys started working and planning to capture the Arizona tate Basketball title again for the third consecutive time. T:ve teamand Coach looked ahead and planned for the time whenthey should go to Tucsonwhere the Tournament was held. Sometimes it looked very doubtful whether they would get to go or not. They were defeated three tines which put them third in the Eastern Conference, so on Feb. 29 at one o’clock Duncan was at the Bear Down oh the University Campus, ready to start its tournament spree. 7 e shall mention here that the two toughest, most hard fought, breath taking, and thriller - diller games of the season were the two last games that Duncan played over at the Tournament with Morenci and Tucson. Through cooperation and skilled ball-handling of the team, Duncan edged out over the Morenci Wildcats. The final climax of the season and tournament was last but not least, the Duncan-Tucson game. Being 10 points behind, in the last quarter, Duncan came back with sheer determination and that Will to Win to take the Tucson Badgers for the State Championship. The following boys are the-Champions for 1939-1940: Coach Briokoy, O’Dell,Bourgeous, Arnett, Hamilton, Gonzales; Ai6r, Blazzard, Sucer, Beavers, Bejarano, Cloudt, Edington; Freeze,- Foote, Goodman, Gilliland, Hager,•Jellinghausens; McGrath, Russell, Stewart; Wilson, Valdez, Webster, East, Moyers, Harry Dees, Manager.
