BOYS' BASKETBALL The Basketeers of Freedom Academy had one of the best seasons ever this past year. The team of F. A. can boast of a line record of 23 wins with but three losses. In League competition, the boys had a record of 16 wins-no losses, to win the Waldo County League Championship. Along with other scheduled games, we ended with a 20 win and no loss record, one of the best in Maine. The Indians went into the Waldo Tourney and defeated Winterport in the first gameg but in the second game, we lost to Besse by a mere two points C44-422. The consolation game was won by F. A. from Brooks on the final night. In the K. V. C. Tourney the Acad- emy boys defeated Richmond in the first game, but were defeated the following night by Oakland. Next came the Eastern Maine Tournament where teams selected by the point rating of the M. P. A. play. Freedom was selected to play in Class M and was rated seventh. Our first game was with Pemetic High, the number 2 team in the tourney. That game was won by the tall boys from Pemetic. James Fernald represented F. A. at the District Foul Shooting Con- test held at Colby College. D. Marcia was elected Captain for next year. It will be his second season in that spot. The team loses this year by gradu- ation A. Knights, E. Gardiner, E. Austin, and J. Fernald. With many regulars coming back next fall, we hope to have a successful season, especially with the able coaching of Mr. DADDY Cosgrove. Allen Knights and Earl Gardiner were selected to represent Freedom at the All-Star game at Brooks. 1 REGULAR SCHEDULED GAMES F. A. x38 F. A. 43 F. A. 46 F. A. 1:73 F. A. 2:39 F. A. f77 F. A. 1246 F.
