Page 88 Coach Creel discusses the successful State Tourney with Meteor co-captains Bill Heath and Bobby Scholtz, who played outstanding roles on the championship squad. SEASON SUMMARY For the second time in as many years the Marquette basketball team came home from the Catholic State Tournament with the Class A championship trophy. This brought a fitting climax to the season as the Meteors wound up with an ll-ll won-lost record. Opening the season with a win over Coweta, the team entered the Rogers Invitational Tourn- ament where they were beaten in the semi- finals by a strong Blackwell club. The Meteors met cross-town rivals Holy Family four times this year with each school winning two games. Fortunately, Marquette's two victories were the conference battles, In the Meteors two clashes with Cascia Hall during the regular season the Commandoes won both games, the last by a single point. Four of Marquette's losses came at the hands of the strong St. Mary's of Wichita club and the undefeated Hornets of Booker T. Washington. The Meteors never hit their true form until the State Tournament when they won three straight games. In the first, they soundly de- feated Catholic Hi of Oklahoma City by a score of 67-40, The second night the Meteors faced St. Gregory's of Shawnee and again were easy victors by the almost identical score of 68411. By winning these first two games Marquette gained the right to meet Cascia Hall, who had downed Holy Family in their semifinal game. The Meteors were never in serious trouble, and when the final buzzer sounded, the scoreboard read 54-Al giving the Meteors the State Championship.
