s You Make the Baskets . . . The nucleus of the Scotties basketball squad this year consisted of four returning senior let- termen: Ken Rochel, Arnold Pleasant, jim Cline, and Dick Conrad. This senior group was bolstered by fellow classmates, Charles Pogue, Carl Smith, jerry Groenig and Vernon Ford. Underclassmen rounding out this squad roster were junior Gary Williaiiis and sophomores, Dick Mortimer, Larry Knutson and Bob Ward. Graduation this spring will leave our next years roster with a small number of returning lettermen. The Highland B squad has shown promise and, through continued progress, might make the future AH squad basketball fortunes at Highland as successful as this yearls B squad season was. The team had a very successful pre-League season, winning all four games. By losing only four out of sixteen League games, the team ended up in third place giving them a berth in the district tournament in Sunnyside. ' M :' ' S,

The B squad completed one of its most success- ful seasons with a record of 15 wins against only four losses. Three of the four losses were lost by margins of 1, 2, and 3 points. The only decisive defeat was by Sunnyside by a 45-32 score. The young players, predominately sophomores, developed very well so that in the second half of the season only one game was dropped in the last ten. The leading scorer for the team was 6, 3 center, Bob Ward, with 155 points. Close behind was Dick Mortimer with 143, Topper Stertis with 131, jim Caton with 130, Larry Knutson with 92 and Hugh Townsend with 71. The equal distribution in the scoring showed evidence of fine team play with a game scoring offense average of 44 points. Probably the most important factor was the fine defensive effort in holding their opposition to 39 points a game in a total of 19 games. Highland basketball followers may have good reason for wishing for continued exciting and winning seasons from thepromising group of present sopho- mores. However, only with continued improvement from year to year as this group has shown since its freshman year, will this possibility become a reality. r 1 . 1- B Squad Schedule Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Highland Zillah Sunnyside Moses Lake West Valley Grandview Selah West Valley Naches Cle Elum ..
