iliii uit-It B i Hi U Flffva I xy? 1 f ' Boys play tough season We want two. We want two: the fans cheered as the Garnett boys basketball season started December 4. The team's best game, according to Coach Mike Casteel, was the game against Osawatomie on Janu- ary fifth. We displayed our best team effort and ran away with a big win. The score at the end of the game was 58 to 35. They also beat Gardner to make it two in-a-row. Individual players improved with every game. I feel that every play- er has improved. Usually the youn- ger players improve the most no- ticeably, explained Mr. Casteel. After the first ten games Ed Cox lead the Garnett Bulldogs with the most points so far. He had I64. He also had the most field goals with 68, free throws with 28, defensive rebounds with 68, offensive re- bounds with 34. But Rod Adkinson had the most steals of I9 with Ed Cox close behind with I4. Jeff Cox lead the team in assists with 2I while Rod Adkinson had l9. The boys played with much hustle and determination. When we worked together as a team we were usually successful, when we didn't, the team usually suffered through it's greatest problems, he added. ,BQXASQ VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM ftleff Cox:-fd Cox, David Leitch, Rod Honn.
