The Ecko STATIQTICS OF 4 BASKETBALL PLAYERS M AC KRALL-FORWARD- CAPTAIN A wonderful floor man, rated one of the best players in the valley. A boy who was a dead shot from any angle on the court. Krall was also the leading scorer on the team. During his four years of basketball, he distinguished himself by being on the District Tournament Team at Kent in 1944 and 1946, and on the All-County Tournament Team in 1344, 1945, and l946, His high-scoring will never be forgotten by l-cal fans, sports writers, and coaches from all arouncl. GEORGE SLAVEN-GUARD . Slaven played his first year as a regular in playing an important role in the many victories piled up by our tccm. He was the fastest boy on the team and was our play-malgof. Whenever there was a loose ball in the mix-up on the flour. Slaven would always be the man to come up ' titr ith it. Gear- gie always showed up his bigger opponents by taking count- less rebounds. Because of his stellar ball playing, lie was picked on the All-County Tournament Team. B ANANASH IUDICIANI-GUARD A fine defensive man for all the height that he had. When assigned to a man, he guarded him like a hawk. He was a scrappy player and also did his part in scoring. ln the county playoffs against Poland, he scored ten consec- utive points in the last quarter that decided victory for us. Many high scorers of the district were held down to low point totals by this little dynamo of defense. PAT MANGINE-FORWARD Pat was our replacement for rangy Bud Mills, when the latter left for the service. Continuing in the footsteps of his famous uncles, the Coppolas', who starred for Lowellville from l93O to l943, he did his part in high-scoring. Although suffering from an ankle injury received in the county tour- nament, Pat managed to keep the pace of our fast-moving boys. Page sixty-three 7
