...l89l-The Eagle-l9h2.... BASKETBALL E The St. Marys Cagers, coached by George Benedetto, played one of the toughest schedules ever had by St. Marys team, and were victorious in seven of their sixteen games. A Few Season Thrillers In their game with Coshocton, minus the service of two regulars in the last quarter, the Saints came through with a 35-BL victory, after having been defeated on the Coshocton court 35-21. Being drubbed by Tuscarawas on their court 70-39, the Saints turned the tables on the home court and trounced the overconfident Tuscarawas team 28-24. After losing the heartbreaker to Steubenville Central Catholic 37-Bu on the home court, the Saints traveled to Steubenville and gained revenge for the setback by beating them 28-27. Although the team will lose six men by graduation, they have plenty of reserve material to fill in the vacancies. Any success the team may have enjoyed during the season is due to the untiring work and interest of Father Bernier, athletic director, and George Benedetto, coach. TOURNAMENT St. Marys participated in the fourteenth Diocesan Tourna- ment held in Columbus March 13 and lb. They were defeated in the first contest by the pre-tournament favorites, Portsmouth Central Catholic High School, on Friday at three o'clock. Trailing to the end of the first half 17-10, the Saints came back strong in the third quarter and led at the short intermission 25-19. However, the Saints could not keep up the pace and fell behind to lose 37-29. Bonamico, outstanding player of the game, won a forward position on the all-tournament team. The team was awarded the Sportsmanship Trophy. A similiar honor was won by the team in 1939. - John Recchiuti
