This year the Devils had a fine 15—6 over all record and an 8—2 Calumet Conference record which landed us in second behind the Co-Champs—Crown Point and Calumet. Tom Keithley was voted the most valuable player of the 1968-69 season. Terry Padgett broke the school scoring record previously held by Ron Wietbroch by scoring 794 points and also broke Randy Harkabus’ two year scoring record by compiling a total of 400 points. Terry also had the best field goal per cent. Other team members to get individual awards were: Tom Johnson, Rebounding award; Tom Hoffman, Most assists; Dave Myers, Best free-throw percentage.
