BASKETBALL The 1945-46 Basketball season opened Nov. 15 with Hayfield trounc- ing Kanawha by a score of 31-12. Coach Brown had three regulars, The Three Dons from the 194-4-4-5 season to form the nucleus of this years team. During the first semester Heller and Formanek were assigned the forward births Geddes center and Schulz and Hutson the guard positions. Heller was ineligable the second semester as he had participated in High School Athletics for four years. Stoltenberg received the assignment to the vacated forward position. Kadera and Gates were used in most of the garnes. We played 20 games during the season winning 13 and losing 7. Competition was keen and two of the losses were by 1 and 2. points. The highlight of the season was the County Tournament played at Britt. The Hornets met Klemme in the first round and at the end of 32 minutes of play the score was tied at 25. In the overtime period the Hornets sank a basket putting them into the semi-finals against Garner. This was another hotly contested game with the hornets holding the edge most of the way until the last four minutes of play. At the automatic time out the score was Z2-13 in favor of Hayfield when Garner found the hoop. As the game ended we still had the lead 24--Z2 and were slated to play Corwith in the finals. There was never a dull moment in the entire game and again all five were playing heads up ball . During the first half each team seemed to take turns at holding the advantage but the half ended ll-13 in favor of Corwith. Determined Hornets came back in the second half and fought until the finish. With the score Z8 to Z7 and seconds left to play Corwith sank a long shot from back of center to put them ahead Z9 to Z8 and winning the Championship. SCORES Hayfield Kanawha. . Hayfield Klernme. . .
