Varsity Team HE 1950-51 basketball team, composed of veterans, got off to a good start not losing a game until mid-season, when they suffered two straight losses to Clendenin and South Charles- ton. They came back, however, to defeat fa- vored Huntington Central by a score of 72-58. Highlights of the season were victories over South Charleston and Clendenin, who had beat- en them earlier in the season. The victory which East Bank gained by de- feating Stonewall Iackson, clinching the Ka- nawha Valley Conference, was the climax to a season of 18 wins and 2 losses. Basketball will feel the loss of Allen, Conner, Captain, Dellinger, Green, Harless, Linkous, and Hudnall. Harless is listed as the highest scorer in the Conference. Coach VVilliams will have to build his 1952 squad from Keglor, Beaver, Mark- ham, Thomas, Keen, and Spradling, while the Bn team can be expected to supply three or four good men. The season ended with a defeat by Charleston in the Sectional Tournament at Charleston. SEASON RECORD EB ,.,,,,.. 49 Sissonsville ,,,,... ..,,,,,, 8 9 EB 68 46 . .,,,,, .
