ville and Winslow. In the first game F. A. was selected to play Winthrop, whom we defeated 48-39. In the semi-finals we had to play a strong Hallowell team. Freedom won in an upset, a 51-36 margin. By this win, we advanced into the finals g the first time an Academy team had done this. Our competition was a wonderful team from Richmond High. We were beaten 51-31. Two brilliant hoopsters from F. A. were selected by the Waldo County Coaches for a berth on the All-County team. They were Donald Marcia and Paul McFarland. Bob Hotham was elected by his teammates as captain for next sea- son. Bob was also the champion foul shooter of the school and he represented us in the District Foul Shooting Contest held at Colby College. This year, by graduation, the varsity team will lose D. Marcia, D. Maxim, P. McFarland, C. Giggey, R. Gray, B. Wentworth, K. Hall, and P. Myrick. These boys will surely be missed, but under the capable coaching of Mr. Cosgrove, a team as good, or better, can be built. He has some mighty fine material from which to choose. We will all be backing them when next season rolls around. REGULAR SCHEDULED GAMES F. A. '70 Stockton 34 F. A. 66 Erskine 43 F. A. 46 Unity 45 F. A. 65 Liberty 23 F. A. 56 VVinterport 43 F.

THE TOURNAMENT CHAMPS The Redskins of Freedom Acad- emy again had one of their remark- able seasons. This fme team ended with a record of 24 wins with but three losses.
