7114 Jlmizn . if BASKETBALL '43 -'44 Minus the skyscrapers and in spite of the fact that we had only one veteran. the basketball season was a great success. To start the season off we came from behind and beat a veteran St. Simon team 31 to 28. Stan Riley was outstanding with 10 points. We then invaded North Muskegon and completely outplayed them gathering in a decisive 40 to 26 decision. Bill Simon played fine ball and gathered 16 points. Whitehall was next and we took them in our stride and beat them in the closing minutes 34 to 32. Stevens led with 13 points and Riley played good defensively. The next week Fremont came to Hart and we beat them 34 to 28. This game was one of the best games we had played all season and was very smooth. Stevens led with 12. The Norsemen again came to Hart and this time we really rubbed it in, winning 46 to 11, Stevens and Simon led with 12 and 11. We met with our first defeat at the hands of Montague, losing 32 to 23. Handi- capped by such a small floor they just outplayed us. Still being in a rut, the boys from Manistee slipped one over us. This time beating us by the score of 22 to 18. We finally snapped out of our slump, thumping Shelby 40 to 21. Simons, Trommater and Stevens leading with 14, 11, 10 respectively. In perhaps the closest game of the season we overcame a lead held by the Scott- ville Spartans and finally beat them 25 to 24. Stevens led with 13. Simon flipped in the winning basket with 10 seconds to go. We travelled to Whitehall and came home on the long end of a 31 to 22 score. Stevens with 12 led the scoring and Cal Greincr played fine defensively. Fremont really clipped us by the score of 43 to 28 and held the lead all the way. NX' e were just lost and Fremont didn't take long to find it out, Shelby invaded us and though they played very fine ball we outlasted them winning 23 to 18. Riley and Greiner played a good defensive game. We then played Montague for the conference. Montague finally won in an overtime 26 to 25. This was really a heartbreaker. The lead changed several times but as you can see Montague was ahead at the final whistle. For the final game of the conference schedule we played Scottvillc. This time we showed them we weren't lucky and beat them 34 to 24. Stevens, Riley and Greiner led the scoring with 12, 10, and 8. Greiner also played one of the finest defensive games of the season. Then came the tournaments and St, Simon. They completely outplayed us and won 43 to 32. Well, we had a good season, anyway. T301
