it ,df THE BASKETBALL TEAM Boys' Basketball When Old Man Basketball came around last fall. the future of the Houlton Hoop- sters in the gym looked very satisfactory, Losing only one of last year's men, Coach Woody Peabody, former assistant coach and head coach this year, with four letter- men including Berry, Niles. McNutt, and lPlourde, four more fast juniors, Grant, McGaffin, York, and Byers, and two promis- ing young sophomores, Berman, and McCor- mack, brought to Houlton the Aroostook Basketball 'Championship for the first time since 1933. With Berry at center, Niles and Mc- Cormick as forwards. and Byers and Mc- Nutt as guards, these five fast starters chalked up 416 points for the entire season in Aroostook County. This gave the Houlton Hoopsters an average of forty-one points per game. Niles of Houlton led the Aroos- took league scorers with i131 points and Berry and McCormick came as a close third and fourth with eighty-seven and eighty-three points respectively. Byers and Plourde, who substituted for McNutt, only juniors who played to any extent this year, 'showed themselves promising leading bas- keteers for the year of 1943-44. The real battle of the year proved to be against our rivals, the Presque Isle Wildcats, which took place in the Houlton gym. In this game the score was tied no less than eight times. but Houlton finally emerged victorious. Out of the fifteen games played, only four were lost. one in the Aroostook league to Mars Hill. and three outside, two to Stearns and one to John Bapst. This gave the Houlton Hoopsters one of the best seasons for many a year. The score per game was as follows: Houtlon 46 Oakfield 12 Houlton 25 'Stearns 37 Houlton 48 A. C.
