Within the conference they lost to Northwestern and defeated both their rivals, Ipswich and Eureka, all in close games. The team had only four sophomores back from last year so many freshmen came off the bench and saw action. This gave them much experience for years to come. In March, a “B” team tournament was held at Eureka in which the team took a disappointing eighth place. In first round action, Ipswich avenged them for their loss earlier in the season, beating the team by one point. In the consolation rounds they lost to Mclaughlin by one and Hosmer by five. 13 Donnie Breitag makes a desperate leap to tip the ball to Leola's side.
