THE ILLOHMET 1944 BASKETBALL 1943-44 Row One: Gerald Comer, Gale Adkins, Douglas Helm, C. E. Alliston, Lyndell DeJarnett, Bob Wilcox. Row Two: Coach Schneeman, Manager Ed Wilson, Buddy Baccus, Bill Buchanan, La-velle Schneider, Karl Kotter, Jim Foreman, Manager Vernie Barnett. The Trojans finished a mediocre season of basketball March 9 at the Johnston City Sectional tournament, where they were defeated by a fast Carterville team. The Regional Tourney proved that the Trojans can never be counted out. as they came through a tough bracket and on into the finals to beat Vienna 42-41, in a razzle-dazzle game. The game was not close until the final quarter. At the end of this period the Eagles had a commanding 11 point lead, but Dick fouled out, and the Trojans took over the game. The Trojans finished this season with 15 wins to match their 15 losses; (a .500 mark.) They are already looking forward to a fine Trojan outfit next year, consisting of Alliston, Wilcox, Comer, Foreman, Baccus, DeJarnett, Taylor from Grade school. Hurt, and two or three more, which should round out one of the best Metropolis teams in years. This years’ team showed signs of great ability at times, such as was expected of them at the beginning of the year when they started off with three straight victories. During the season some of the best teams in Kentucky were seen on the local hardwood, including Rineyville, St. Xavier, Tilghman, and Benton. Rineyville managed to eke out a three point victory (44-41) over us after trailing all the way. The Trojans held St. Xavier on even terms for the last three quarters after blowing the game soon after the opening whistle sounded. Tilghman won over the Trojans in one of the best games of the season 44-42 in an overtime. Much enthusiasm prevailed all through the Regional Tournament, as well as during the season, and the boys did a very fine job. We’re all proud of their record and are looking forward to a bigger and better season next year.
