They lost only once in twenty-five gomes and brought Vancouver its first state championship since 1938. They had size, spirit, and, most of all, they played os a team. Each player was capable of scoring 20 points per game. Each passed up chances for personal glory for the good of the teom. For example, Ken Smith, a deadly outside shot, scored 38 points to break the school record of 36 points, set by Roger Eigsti in 1958, and equaled by Craig Raymond in 1962. The following week, Mike Powers had o fan- tastic night of Mark Morris, outscoring the league's leading scorer 37-7 and grabbing 21 rebounds. This was only to be topped by our all-stater. Bill Flynn, who seored 52 paints against Mark Morris. That night we beat them 74 to 46. Bill outseored the whole Mork Morris team with his fantastic shooting. Our starting five received many honors this year. Bill Flynn was chosen the most valuable ployer in the state tournament. Ken Smith was selected for first team all-state, and Mike Powers for second team. Mike Wynne was the only junior on first or second team, and Hobcrt Herber received 1st hon- orable mention. All of the other members of the team did a fine job. If it weren't for them, our state chompionship might not hove been possible.
