ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR It is a great pleasure for me to be writing about a group of boys and a coach we think are tops. They have spent a lot of good times together as well as many serious moments. Basketball is a sport we all love. It is good clean recreation and lots of fun. Our season started off with a bang by walking away from Sa- luda by an eleven point margin. we traveled to Silver Creek on November 7 and came home good losers. That didn't put damp spirits on the coach and players of H.H.S. The determination of these boys was a great asset to Mr. Furnish . A few games like the one at Hanover are what makes basketball a real thrill. A victory by three points was well earned. On December 12, we motored to Charlestown to bring home the plaque. This meant team-work and they didn't let us down. The plaque still hung in question when we played Borden. That question was answered with a twenty seven point win. Our hopes were great when we went to Silver Creek for the County Tourney. Again we won over Borden by six points. That night was a little different. We were beaten by New washington and lost the plaque. We beat vallonia by twelve. points to show that we were still the determined team that we were at the first of the season. On February 6, 1951, we had to even things with New Washington, which is just what we did by fifteen points. The plaque was brought home again. We proved to Charlestown we could hold on to it too. Our last season game was another victory by three points. On February 21, 1951, we went to Jeffersonville for our first game in the Sectional. We drew Laconia and was scheduled to play at 10:15 Wednes- day morning. we led the game most of the way and pulled through by six points. That made us all happy. Our next game was Nth,Silver Creek and this was a different story. We were beaten by twenty two points and came home a little unhappy. Well, it takes good sportsmanship to be a good loser as well as a good winner and I think you will agree that our boys possess that good sportsmanship. We sincerely hope the boys behind us have as suc- cessful a season as we have had.
