SaAketball Climaxed by the election of Gene Vosseler as honorary cage captain and by George Gribble's attainment of a new individual scoring record, the Oranqe and Black basketball season of 1947-48” was an up-and-down affair. Midland had eight victories and fifteen losses. Coach John Pfitsch's Warrior hoopsters for the second year attended the York tournament during Christmas vacation. By coincidence, the Braves' season began and ended with victories over Dana. Gribble set a new Midland record of 292 points, playing 21 games and averaging 13.9 points per game. His best mark was 26 against Hastings. Gribble was named to The Midland's all-N.C.C. team at forward, and Vosseler was chosen a sec- ond team guard in the same selections. Vosseler was chosen honorary captain by his fellow Warrior cagers. In addition to the varsity cagers, several other Midland men were busy with Junior Varsity games in the Purple Key league. These cagers included George Bartels, Jim Bowman, Chris Chaney, Jim Falconer, Jack Kintz, Don Nordling, Keith Potadle, Bob Provorse, Art Stark, Jr., Lloyd Sturtevant and Bruce Young.
