BOYS' BASKETBALL After a very successful basketball season in 1935-»36, in which our boys won 22 out of 28 games played, scoring victories over some of the leading high school teams in this section, and finally being crowned champions in their class, the outlook for the 1936-,37 season was not very bright. Only two veterans, Carl Ripley and James Burnett, answered the first call for prac- tise this year. To go back, the 1935-'36 sea.son brought the Richville High School Whippets praise wherever they played. Some of the big victories were scored over the Canton Aggies, who fell twice, 3 4- to 25 at home, and 22 to 21 in a thrilling game at Canton; Black River, Watertown district champions, who lost 4-5 to 21; Crown Point, beat- en on its own court 4-1 to 25 in an intersectional game that brought Richville much credit; Ha.rris- ville, who was defeated twice, 36 to 12 and 29 to 17; and Hermon, who wan subdued twice, 37 to 6 and 29 to 21. Two of the losses were adminis- tered by Whitehall High School at Whitehall, 26 to l6; and Osdensburg Free Academy at Ogdcnsburg, 26 to 19. Much credit for the success of the Blue and White should go to Carl Ripley for his heavy scoring, to James Cunningham for his self sacri- fice as a scorer and his willingness to pass to his team-mates, to James Burnett for his work under the baskets and in getting the tip-off, and to Charles Van Namee, a scrapper 'til the end, who defensively was the spark plug of the team. After dropping two games out of the first three played, the 193 - '37 edition of the Whip- pets developed into another great team and went on to win 17 out of 21 games played. This year our boys were again classed without doubt as one of the best high school teams in this section. Shining victories were scored over the Canton Aggies, 36 to l6; Ha.rrisville, 28 to 12; Hermon, 23 to 1 4-; and Edwards, 19 to 16. In a benefit

game in Ogdensburg, the Whippets won from St. Mnry s of Ogdensburg, 27 to 16. The finest achievement of the season, and one of the greatest feats that any high school team coulcl expect to accomplish, came on the team’s three-day trip. On the trip, the team played Dannemora, Rouses Point, and Chateaugay, in the order named. Dannemora, a team of Giants averaging better than 6 feet, for the past three years and this year sectional champions of the Plattsburg area, was met in the first game. In a thrilling game our Blue and White trimmed the prison-town school team 26 to 2k, the first defeat Dannemora had suffered on its home court in five years. At Rouses Point the next night our boys won from the Rouses Point team rather easily, 29 to 17. Chateaugay took our measure on the third night of our trip, 29 to 19. The Chateaugay boys were a well coached team that seemed to do everything right on that night. In closing, special credit should be paid Carl Ripper Ripley, who, believe it or not, was often a one-man basketball team. He scored over half the team's total points for the yean. In the Aggie game he scored 23 points alone, 9 more than the whole Aggie team; in the Black River game he scored J2 points alone, 9 more than the whole Black River team; and in the Ed- wards game he scored 29 points alone against Edwards total score of IS. Carl should be rank- ed as one of the greatest scholastic basketball stars of this section. James Burnett also did great work this year, as did Tony Scalice and Bob McLeod. Dorwin and Erwin Gore, twins, alter- nated at guard and played good ball for their first year. Cecil Alguire, Leonard Gray, Ashton Pernice, and Mark Dodds were also on the squad and contributed fine playing when called upon. Gordon Hay made our team one of the best mana- gers that we have ever had. To put a striking finish to two fine season hy both the girls’ and boys’ teams, Richville Union School wpb voted the Sportsmanship Loving1 Uup , an award that shows that teams can win end still hold the esteem of their rivals.
