BASKETBALL The Lyons High School Basketball Team started the year rather slowly as they had lost seven seniors the previous year. As the season progressed, the Lions gained confidence and poise. They improved their game steadiky and after the Wabash Valley Tourney, they averaged sixty-one points per game for their last seven games. This year was highlighted by exceptionally good team work and a strong come back in the second half of the game. One of the games which will always be recalled will be the sectional tourney game in which the Lions finished their game with two men on the floor while Jasonville had only four. The Lions lost to Jasonville, the tourney champs, by eight points. Lyons lost seven men via the personal foul route while one was ejected for rough play. Although the won-lost ratio was not the best, the season was very successful in terms of team spirit and fair play.

The Lyons second team, composed mainly of freshmen, al- though finishing on the short side of the winning column, completed the season with an improved style of ball playing and showed prom- ise for the future. They collected two victories against fourteen losses. The team had a free throw percentage of 47? which is con- sidered good shooting at the foul line for a younger group of boys.

With the loss of part of the Newberry players, the team was forced to begin its season short of regulars. Under the circumstances, the team did well, for while play- ing the top county competition, it won two games and dropped six. The team hopes to continue through the spring and summer and should show marked improvement with more experience.
