In the matter of scores and games won the Mules did not fare so well-winning only one game of their entire schedule, but our team gained plenty of experience. Because few men are lost this year by graduation, the team next year will bc composed of boys experienced in cooperating and working together. One of the most brilliant and consistent performers of our football team was the Captain, Hal Butler, who was given honorable mention on the all-state team. Football letters were given to sixteen boys, of which six were mem- bers of the Senior Class, the other ten will return next year. BASKETBALL TEAM Mr. Broadway Mr. Newton Clifford Elliott H :rry Vaught Bob Etheridge Glen Piatt Viril Cunningham Ray Hill Ray Lee Cale Englebright Nate Gray Dan Melrose Jimmie Curry Paul Gurley Bud Smith ' Hal Butler . A 1 In the 1940-41 basketball season the Mules enjoyed a. considerably great- er degree of success than in football. With only one letterman, Hal Butler, returning, Coach Newton had to choose, for the remainder of the team, boys having somewhat meagre experience. 'Ilhe transfer of Harry Vaught from Burnt Prairie to F.C.H.S. helped to improve the team's showing greatly. Although th.e Mules won only van approximate third of their games, their fighting spirit was evident in every game, many of which were lost by a small margin against bigger teams. This season will also find most of the team graduating as Butler, Vaught, and Melrose are Seniors. Englebright, Piatt, and Gurley will be among the veterans to return next year. In the regional tournament held at F.C.H.S. from March 5-8, the Mules in their first game, defeated Woodlaewng in the semi-finals, they defeated Bluford. They lost to Mt. Vernon in the Championship game. As a runner-up the Mules were assigned to the Lawrenceville sectional where in their first game they were defeated by Palestine.
