Varsity Basketball Season Our Varsity Basketball record this year showed one win in fifteen games. The record does not show how close most of the games were. In seven contests this year, Huntington lead for three quarters. In nine contests Huntington led at the half. ' The new gym was being built and Huntington was forced to schedule more games away on larger, strange courts. In spite of this,fans who followed the boys closely saw,,much'exciting basketball. Robert Uhrig, Oscar Uhrig, and Donald Mendenhall finished their basketball at Huntington this season. They started every game and did a fine job. With a little more experience on the larger court, these fellows could have been rough for any county team. ' Eight Junior boys have been out for basketball two seasons now and will be the first Senior class to the new gym. They will play together for the most part next year. g There is a fine Freshman-Sophomore team coming along. They will play together exclusively, so that a good team can be developed at Huntington each year, with proper facilities and gym floor-size to work with. Probably the best games to remember in 1952-'53 were the early, local games with Bainbridge and Twin. These were undecided until the last few minutes. Coach C. O. Hurd.

Although this record is not too impressive, we feel that this team has accomplished more than perhaps the record shows. In the early part of the season, the squad was paced by Neil Uhrig who proved himself worthy of varsity competition and was moved up to the varsity squad. This loss temporarily. left the team on shaky legs, but after dropping games to Southeastern and Bainbridge, we began to gain strength and turned back Clarksburg and Unioto. Future varsity talent began to appear in several Freshman and Sophomore boys as the season progressed. These boys, along with others who had to sweat out many games onthe bench, will be the nucleus of what we hope will be a better than average varsity team in the future.
