Frosh Have Bad Luck Even though this year's basket- ball season wasn't a total loss for the freshmen, the team had hoped for a better record. James Anderson scored 16 points in the game against Mabank to lead the freshman team to a 31-30 victory in their first district bout. But their luck didn't hold out long. For the next nine games the frosh were defeated, to leave them with a record of 1-9 . Wills Point, their second dis- trict game, turned out a bit dif- ferent from their first. Having scored 15 points, Billy Lovett was high point man with James CV Anderson right behind him with 10 points. In their game against Quinlan the team came out on top. In the first half Quinlan was ahead, but the frosh got things working together to win 51-48. The next game they won was against the Canton Eagles played in Canton. Again the opposing team was ahead at the end of the first half and again the frosh pulled through to win with the same score, 51-48. The Tribe closed out the sea- son with a district record of 2-10 and a season record of 3-12. Opposite page: A3 During the Brownsboro game. Jay Land shoots for an extra point.
