MERRILL FOOTBALL “A” BASKETBALL Merrill had one of the longest football seasons in the history of the high school. Starting on August the 27th, and didn’t give it up until November the 13th. We had a six won and a three lost record. Merrill played Jacksonville for the district crown and won it by a score of 13 to 14. Our next game lost to Maupin 39 to 19. We placed four boys on the all-county team and two on the all-Shrine 'B” squad.

Most of the boys were Freshmen, but some of them will go on to Varsity next year. BASEBALL Last year we had a fair season in baseball winding up third in the county. Boys lettering in baseball were Wes Haskins, Bruce Sanders, Cliff Honeycutt, Jack Hendrickson, Raymond Mattson, Jerry Wolfram, John O’Neil, Mike Geraghty, Gary Walters and Leroy Johnson. JR. HIGH BASKETBALL The seventh and eighth grade played two games. One was a civil war game which the eighth grade won and the other was with Bly, which Bly won. There are quite a few promising players on both teams. TRACK Merrill had a very successful track team this year, sending four boys to the State Meet and placing in two events. Dick Reeves won the 220-yard dash and our relay team took third place. Track lettermen were Dick Reeves, Jack Hendrickson, Jerry Wolfram, Johnny O’Neil, Lee Winters, Danny Barry, Dick Fields and Billy Green. 20
