basketball didn’t flourish . . . Another season of basketball has come and gone. Our over all statisti- cal averages kept right up with our opponents averages, but since they didn ' t come together at the right times, and in the right ways, we didn ' t exactly flourish this year.

They kept trying when they were down, strove to climb back up when they were floored, and showed drive and determination for which all can be proud.
