BLUEJACKETS SECOND IN DISTRICT Hibbing's Basketball team got off to a very slow start this year, losing 5 out ot their first 7 games. This was due to the reason that they had only one returning starter and because they played some of the better teams in this region such as, Gilbert, Superior Central, Bemidji, and Crookston. The team also had numerous starters during the year. Even though they were having a bad year, the team was never short on aggressiveness and eagerness. This paid otf because after Christmas the team really started to play well. In their own District the team tinished third. 126 The Blueiackets defeated such watin 55-49, Nashwauk 53-47, and Deer River 73-44. The Jackets were defeated by such out- standing teams as Chisholm 49-44, and Green- way 6O-49- This was a good finish after a pocr start. This was due to both the hard work of the players and their coach Angelo Pergol. In the District 28 Tournament, Islibbing defeated Nashwauk 57-47 and then took Green- way 47-39. They then met Chisholm for the Championship and were defeated 59-51. Thus ending a very successful season tor the hoopsters.
