In a see-saw game, Bill Trull hit two free throws when the game was over for a (51-49) victory. Lawrence's second game was almost as thrilling as the first. This time the Lions lost a (53-50) overtime contest to SM- East. Then came a loss to Manhattan (49-45), a victory over Highland (73-58), 3rd place trophy at Hayden's tourney, a defeat of Junction City (73-58), a heartbreaker to SM-North (58-50), another to Leavenworth (56-50), a stomping of Winfield (71-47), ditto SM-West (78-62), ditto again Topeka West (77-57), a loss to Ottawa (55-52), ditto Leavenworth (51-45), again ditto Junction City (60-54), a rally against Man- hattan (59-44), dumping Topeka (71-57), a loss to Wyandotte (65-54), winding up the season with 2nd place in the regionals at Topeka.
