Hendrick Hudson High School - Half Moon Yearbook (Montrose, NY)

This year's varsity basketball squad has not been too successful in the won and lost column, but when one ex- amines the record closely he sees that many games were lost by one or two points and with a little luck could have been victories. The student body wishes Mr. Thomas and the boys to know that they admired the team's courage and spirit in the face of many bad breaks. The Junior Varsity squad under Mr. Pitman's coach- ing had a very good year and up to the time of this arti- cle had won ten games and lost two. This is one of the best clubs we have had and Mr. Pitman and the boys de- serve much credit for their fine performance.

The 1950 Hendrick Hudson High School football squad was one of the best ever developed at the school. Under the direction of Head Coach Mayer and Assistant Coach Kiefer the squad won five of seven games played and lost a chance to tie for the championship on last day of the season. The team play and spirit were the deciding factors in this year's play and the school is proud of these boys and their accomplish- ment. Guiding the Junior Varsity team was Mr. Topper who has the difficult task of schooling new boys in the fun- damentals and system of play. This year's varsity reflects the thorough- ness of his work.

VARSIIY BASIBAII V Jill: 58? -...ii 'UAS J. V. BASlBAll For years baseball has been avery pop- ular sport in Central District 43. Last year Hendrick Hudson High School was able to produce a combination that was good enough to tie for the league championship. This year, Mr. Kiefer, varsity baseball coach, has many of last year's squad back and the league competition should be quite strong. Lost from last year's squad are William Gordineer and Larry Keon and replacing them will pose quite a problem. However, some of last year's junior varsity team showed promise and with a little exper- ience may be able to step in and help out. , guru - .tmmfr, 3152251 3 .uf 1 , --fm -la 'Q 'Wi sip ' - V fist was For the past few years Mr. Hallock has been in charge of junior varsity baseball where he trains and prepares young boys for varsity competition.
