UNDER THE CAPABLE leadership of Coach Harold THE CROWD RAISED the roof after winning a battling game Hayes, the Flying L basketball team really worked against Edison, to win. Flying L’s Flew' Through the Season THE ’59-’60 FLYING L basketball team was a squad studded with top scores and smooth defensive maneuvers. Under the influence of high point man, Stan Wood, the team, coached by Hal Hayes, opened the season with a 72-69 victory over McArthur. Lauderdale captured the McArthur Holiday Invitational Tournament when our team of pre- cisioned hoopsters topped the Norland Vikings and Pompano Beach to snare the champion’s crown. The string of victories stretched on-and- on as West Palm bowed to Lauderdale, 71-65 and was followed on the list of defeats by Miami Edison 73-70 and Miami Norland 69-39. Pompano’s Golden Tornadoes snapped back, though, to squeeze out a victory against the L’s with a final score of 73-71. The Mustangs and West Palm Beach were next to fall to the Flying L’s with final scores of 72-69 and 81-65. The games followed and scores mounted up and the season ended with a satisfactory victory against Stranahan 71-68 in the semi-finals of the district tournaments. Three of our outstanding players, Stan Wood, Leo Burkey, and Rex Petro, were proud to ac- cept the honor of being selected for the all- star team. WAY TO MOVE.” yelled someone in the breathless crowd as Rex Petro made a quick reverse in midair during the South Broward game. 89
