Varsity Boys Basketball -Men dominate league, enter tourney Possibly the most surprising team in State Class AAA basketball cir' cies, the Marshall Minutemen won their division title and qualified for the state tournament in March at Portlancl's Memorial Coliseum. Winning the PIL East title was just one of the many goals which the team set at the beginning of the sea- son, and which we accomplished by the end of the season, revealed Senior Chris Milner. Coach Emry's main objective was to get the most out of his players' abilities. This was illustrated as he guided his M-Men to a respectable showing, finishing in the top half of the 16 team tourney. They played well together. They believed in each other and me and many sacrificed individual glories for the success of the team, Emry praised. HUSTLING FOR THE BALL, Wilbert Antoine and Woody Speakmon display determination to win. Varsity Boys' Basketball Emry also pointed out that the final state tournament competition is always tough. Good ball handling, smart shooting and passing, and un- seifish players were the M-Men's strong points and compensated for the team's lack of height. Being the smallest team in the state playoffs is a big disadvantage, commented Mike Flye. Emry sighted his two graduating seniors, floor leader Wood row Speakmon and center Mike Flye as being the stalwarts of the team along with Carey Bell, leading scor- er, and Don Wyier, best all-around. Another key factor in the team's success was the development of un- derclassmen Wilbert Antoine, Rob- ert Key, and Leonard Wade. Emry was very confident that the strong M-Men bench would come through. Coach Emry's confidence gener- ated enough success that he was named All-Metro Coach of the Year by the vote of his opposing coaches. Emry credited his team and staff with the honor. Bell concluded, We really pushed ourselves this year. By mak- ing the playoffs, we were rewarded for all the hours of practice, and pep talks, and sacrifice that was neces- sary to go as far as we did. SHOOTING for two, Leonard Magic Wade skies over his 6'5 West Albany opponent.
