Paul Penickand Bill Chittum lead the team in scoring as January ac- tion got under way. Both have aver- aged more than 15 points per game in the three District Five contests which Lexington has played. Coach Brewbaker has words of praise for his junior varsity, too. The jayvee squad has won three straight games without a loss and has averaged about 50 points per contest. Because of a deadline, we regret that we can ' t put a complete rundown of all the games; therefore we have left space for you to fill in the scores. The Crystal Staff prophe- cies many victories for the basket- ball squad in 1955.

Brewbaker Coach Ralph Arehart Manager Coach Brewbaker calls the 1954- ' 55 Scarlet Hurricane probably the best basketball team he ' s coached in years. We have a very well-balanced team, with several good scorers, he said. When they get off to a good start, these boys can score 60 or 70 points in a game. We haven ' t had a team like that in several years. The Hurricans dropped their first two games, one by a single point. Then they scored impressive victories over Central High and Buena Vista to even their record at two and two. 28
