The next week the Plainsmen avenged the Ada Cougars, the team which defeated them in the state finals last year, by trouncing them 37-24. Closing the year 1940 on December 31, the Youngman men defeated Blackwell here 42-22. Incidentally Blackwell scored 18 of its 22 points on free throws. On january 3, the Plainsmen journeyed to Norman to play the Tigers in their opening battle in the Mid-State Conference. They drubbed the Tigers 42-18 on Norman's small court with Yates collecting 25 points to his credit. The Plainsmen's six games winning steak was brought to an abrupt halt on january 10, when they invaded the den of the Shaw- nee Wolves. Shawnee slapped a stinging 36-26 defeat on the Plainsmen. Staying over- night at Oklahoma City, they redeemed themselves from the Shawnee loss by defeat- ing the Central Cardinals 26-16. Returning to their home court, the Plains- men rambled past Ponca City in easy style, 34-21. The weekend of january 17, the Plainsmen barely slipped past the Capitol Hill Redskins 33-29 in an overtime period. The Redskins led 29-28 with but 40 seconds left in the game when Ernie Powell was given a free throw with which he tied the game, and the Plainsmen rang up two field goals in the overtime period. The Plainsmen visited the El Reno Indians at their camp Ianuary 21, defeating them 35-19. On january 24, the Plainsmen protected their Mid-State lead by a 43-28 victory over the visiting Classen Comets. The Blackwell Maroons were defeated by against a strong Yukon team who edged the Subsi' 20-18 winning in the last minute of play after trailing 18-17. February 13 proved to be lucky for the Plainsmen as they soared to a sweet victory over the Shawnee Wolves to give them an undisputed lead in the Mid-West Confer- ence. Coach Youngman used but five men in the 35-32 victory. The next night the Enid muscle men, decisioned the El Reno Indians 36-30 in what started out to be a basketball game but ended in practically a free-for-all. The climax of a 16 game winning streak was reached at Ponca City on February 18 when a highly improved Ponca City team slipped past a relaxed Plainsmen team to the tune of 27-24. Enid clinched the Mid-State title by down- ing their traditional rivals, the Oklahoma City Central Cardinals, 29-22, This was probably the most thrilling game of the year as the score at the half was tied 19-19. The Plainsmen completed their regular scheduled season February 24 by drubbing Capitol I-Iill 21-8 on the Redskins' court. Having won the Mid-State title, the Enid squad had its heart set on winning the Reg- ional Tournament here and then going to the State Tourney at Oklahoma City. In the Regional, the Plainsmen's Hrst opponent was the Guthrie Bluejays whom they unmerci- fully eliminated from the tournament by the score of 49-29. Enid then was teamed with Perry to play in the semi-finals, and by good floor-work they won a 40-25 victory to surge into the finals against a strong Stillwater team who had previously defeated Woodward and Ponca City. The Enid-Stillwater game proved to be a real championship test, but the superior Plainsmen just couldn't be stopped first game, they defeated Bartlesville 49-23 with Vernon Yates scoring 30 points. Next in line came Classen whom Enid had previously defeated twice during the regular season in Mid-State play. After playing a hustling ball game which showed that they hadn't let down, the team emerged a 30-25 victor over the Comets. The Plainsmen were now in the Hnals against Tulsa Will Rogers, the 'idarkhorsen of the tournament. Tulsa had previously de- feated Ada and Nluskogee. It was a grim, determined group of boys who went out on the court with their hearts set to win the state title. In the most thrill- ing game of the tournament, the Enid boys were nosed out by one point, 28-27. There was a sixth man against the Plainsmen in that final game, he was bad luekn. During the first half there were 19 field goals attempted, and not a one went in. Never before had the boys missed that many shots without making at least one, but it was no disgrace to lose to the Tulsa team because they had a great team and were perhaps the best sports of any team the Plainsmen had engaged. Two Enid players, Kenneth Buchanan and 1-lolly Pearce, were given the honor of being chosen for the All-State team. Thus rang down one of the most success- ful seasons that Enid I-Iigh has ever enjoyed, and for the second successive year they were runners-up to the state champions. Last, but not least, for this is where the stars of tomorrowi' are born, the Enid B team, coached by Dale I-Iolt, enjoyed a splendid season with 19 wins and 2 losses. xxxlxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw N EWS and EAGLE Congratulations Seniors of txsxlxtixxxxxxxxxxv susxixxxxu
