amifg Zgvwgefdaf After a few weeks of practice the Blue Devils started their tenth season without a home floor. Our first foe was Mt. Ayr. The Devils played a fiire game but lost 47-42. After but four days of rest the Devils met Wadella and lost again 34-273. In this game the Devils just could not find the range. Then we journeyed to Rensselaer where we were met and defeated by a strong Bomber five 50-34. Our next foe was Morocco, the Devils put up a good fight, but the Beavers proved to be too hot as they won 41-24. After this game we got a new coach, Wayne Tur- pin, since Coach Smith took a new job at Terre Haute. Our first game under the new Coach was the powerful Brook Aces, and we lost our fifth straight, 58-32. Then at last we won our first game of the season by downing the Goodlancl Trojans 47-32. Our vic- tory string was extended to two in a row when we romped over Boswell 40-30 to close the 4-7 half of the schedule. Our first game in the new year was the Monon Railroaders. Monon was much too hot for us to handle and we lost 70-21. Still wondering what happened at Monon we went to meet Ambia. At intermission we were behind. but we came back to win 32-29. Next on our card was Brook and they handed us a 41-23 beating. Next was the 4-team tourney. For our first game we drew Goodland and we beat the Trojans for the second time this year 46-41. By winning we went to the finals but lost to Morocco 51-31. The next scheduled game was also Morocco and we lost again by almost the same score 51-33. Then came the Oxford Blue Devils and our Kentlanrl Blue Devils won 43-40, after trailing the whole first half. ln our next three outings we lost. The Fowler Bulldogs beat us 55-33. Earl Park's Cardinals took us into camp for the first time in years 44-41. ln the last scheduled game of the season we lost to Remington 51-44. For our first game of the sectional we drew Rensselaer. On Thursday, Feb. 26, Kentland met Rensselaer in the first game of the tourney. Rens- selaer jumped to an early lead, and held it through- out the whole game. Rensselaer out-scored K. H. S. 20-12 in 8 min. At intermission it was still the Bombers 41-30. ln the 3rd period Rensselaer wid- ened their lead to 53-38. ln the 4th quarter K. H. S. hit for only 2 points. while the red-hot Bomber five hit for 21 markers to make the final R. H. S. 74, Blue Devils 40. The Rensselaer game was the last for Hassett, Small, Henry, and Myers. The prospect of a good team next year is very well based because we have eight boys returning from the first 12. Vile the Senior class of 1943 hope that the team will have all the luck possible.
