They did not lose until the semi-finals of the Austin Invi- tational Tournament. Included in this nine game string was the first place trophy at the Kerrville Tournament. Before the season started, the Reagan cagers were picked to win district, but fate was against them when they lost three of the first four district ball games by close margins. Coach Ronnie McDonald expressed the team's disappointment at not winning dis- trict when he stated, We lost some real close games at the beginning of district and we never could recover. Coach McDonald also pointed out that the team's strong point was a stingy defense and its major weakness was out- side scoring ability. The leading scorers were Gene Young with a 1 5 point average and Carl Pankratz with a 13 point aver- age. The coach also applauded Mark Turek and Richard Clark for their defensive play and Robert Walker for his floor leader- ship. The team finished the season with 19 wins and Coach McDonald pointed out that whenever you win 19 ball games, the season can’t be all bad. The final 19- 10 record proves that there were a lot more sweet memories than sour ones. (A) Coach Ronnie McDonald watches with patience a» the cagers work oof.
