The team was comoosed of two juniors and nine sophomores: Larry Nelson. John Lowthian, Dave Jurgens, Ron Boe, Jack Price, Dave Gill, Ed Schaffer, Ron Fenner, Roger Cooper, Roger O’Shaughnessy, and Frank Holbert, respectively. Mr. Garold Engelhard was the “B team coach. Jack Price, Frank Holbert, Larry Nelson, Dave Jurgens and Ron Boe made up the starting five Boe led both the scoring column with a 10.3 point average per game and his re- bounding totaled 100.
