BASKETBALL The basketball season ended with the Komets having compiled an overall record of 11-7 and a Mississippi Valley League mark of 5-3. Although it was not one of the team's most suc- cessful seasons, they did end the year with a 11-1 record in the state, which gave them second place. Nearly all ofthe first string will graduate this year, but if the right prospects turn up next year, and if the remaining team members play in 1960 as they did this year, the outlook will be very promising We hope that the Komets will regain their supre- macy which they held in 1958. We also hope that these big ifs which confront us will become real- ities, ABOVE: Coach Harold Hufford. Head Basketball Coach.

HOEFERLE WINS GOLF TOURNEY Harold Hoeferle who was last year's runner- up in the golf tournament at Muscatine went one step further this year by coming home with top honors. He shot a 79 to win the play-off. Don Clippert, another veteran of last year's tourna- ment, won fourth place in the tourney. TENNIS TEAM - CONFERENCE CHAMPS The KCC tennis team entered the conference meet for the second time in its history and be-ttered its first year's runner-up spot by bringing home the Championship honors. It was Komet against Komet in the singles final as Danny Staggs outlasted Don Romes for the title. In the doubles Keith Hammel and Ron Starr made it a complete sweep for the Komets as they triumphed over both Muscatine and Burl- ington. Much of the credit for the fine showing the Komets made in the tennis tournaments goes to Coach Bob Cfowing. ABOVE: Harold I-Ioeferle on the left and Don Clippert on the right.
