The Red Devils of the hardwood came through in fine style during the 1950-51 season. They beat our arch-rival, LaPorte. in both games with the Maple City Mobsters. The Devils won twelve games against as many losses this season. Balanced scoring was the factor that put the Devils through. The team pulled its biggest upset when they defeated Mishawaka. a team that finished high in the conference this year. They also upset Culver in the third game of the season. Culver. previous to the City game. had been undefeated. Ham- mond Tech is another team that felt the sting of the Devils. The Devils were underdogs in all of these games but came through with decisive victories. The long shots of'Bob Szot, the driving of Chuck Trottier and Fritz Sperling, and the rebounding of Gene Burrell and Steve Delaney gave the team a well-balanced attack. All of the reserves were able to come in and hold their own. and so the Devils individually can be proud of themselves. Perhaps the most stunning defeat of the year was that given to us by South Bend's Central Bears, who ran up a score of seventy-four points against us. The Red Devil high for the season was sixty- three points. scored against Wanatah. The two jewels of the season were the two victories over LaPorte. each by two points. Those victor- ies alone were enough to make the season successful. Another big victory was the one over St. Mary's. In this game the intra-city rival held a one-point lead at the half. However, the Devils, sparked by the driving of Sperling. forged ahead and took the game by five points. The outcome of the sectional pleased no one from Elston High. but the team was not at fault. No team can play a game under the heavy pressure of a LaPorte-City game in the afternoon and be ex- pected to give another top notch performance at night. Rolling Prairie won the right to compete in the Regional. On the whole the season was highly successful. Coach Kohlmier had his players in top condition, and they gave a fine account of themselves.
