The Mendon Pirates of 1939-40 began the season with added zeal and enthusiasm under the leadership of our new coach, Mr. Cook. The future looked bright; and the boys began a series of continuous practice periods and a. continuous training program. Upon losing Albert Custer and Carl Putman because of ineligibility, the prospects didn't look so favorable, but these handicaps were only incentives to work harder. All in all, the season wound up fairly successfully with eleven wins and six defeats, making our rating third in the County. Although they were defeated in the first tournament game by Rockford, a team whom they defeated twice during the season, the boys deserve our praise and adoration for the commendable sportsmanship displayed so forcefully in every one of their games. The boys were invited by our former coach, Mr. Smith, to play his team at Bowerstown, Ohio, which is in the eastern part of the state. We accepted the invitation making it a two day trip and one that we shall never forget.
