With the opening of the Anthracite League, the Peppers upset a highly fated Hdzle Township quintet. Our team, however, lost two games in the hrst half, one to West Hazle- tOn, and the second to our old rival, Freeland. In the starting berths could usually be found rangy Hugh Fischer at center, Brooks Holtzclaw and Bob Watahovi-ch at forward positions, and Mike Ostroff and lack Durso as guards. Paul Sharpe, acting as a utility man saw plenty of action Bill Deitch Kenny Klingerman Jim Deitch Larry Spoont and Bob Matchick all served 1n relief roles Durso served as pace setter for the team and ended the season as high-scorer. The junior members of the team showed great promise for next year. - Although the Preppers were not very successful in the second half, some prestige was again regained by the defeat of Freeland. In a post season benefit game, the Miners took a victory from Foster Town- ship. M, M, I, was then invited to enter the Bloomsburg Tournament in Class CM where they won three successive games only to lose out in the finals by a one point margin. 35
