FOOT BALL SEASON 1936 BASKET BALL SEASON 1936 FOOTBALL Although the 1936 football team won only four games and lost four, the season proved to be the most successful one a Macomb High team has had in many years. The team was rather inexperienced at the first of the season due to the loss of several veterans, but what the boys didn’t have in experience they made up with fight. The Orange and Black defeated Lewistown, Carthage, Bushnell, and Havana while going down to defeat before Quincy, Beardstown, Galesburg and Monmouth. Bushnell, Lewistown, Havana, and Beardstown were Spoon River Valley opponents and Macomb finished second in the Spoon River Valley Conference with three wins and one defeat. There were five seniors on the team and each one of these boys will be greatly missed next year. BASKETBALL SEASON, 1936-1937 The past season with 20 wins out of 29 games was considered very successful by the coach and local fans. Although the team lost several lettermen and was a little slow in starting, they soon turned out a winning combination. The team reached a peak near the end of the season and finished out the season in good form. Our guintet took the regional tournament at Roseville and entered the Galesburg sectional tourney but on the first night the team played off form and lost to Dunlap. At the end of the season the Macomb Business Men gave the team a very fine banguet at the Hotel Lamoine. - { Page 28 )«-
