Bovs' sPoR'rs The Minoa High School football team was very successful this year as 'they again went through their schedule undefeated. Their winning streak has now been extended to 22 straight games. Since the midseason point in 1943, Minoa's football teams have compiled a record of 39 wins while dropping but one game. This was a very close game with Manlius. . The team scored 232 points compared to 93 points for their opponents. This is an average of 33.17 points per game against 13.3 points per game for the opposition. Gene Vona led the scoring with 97 points while Edward Sutfin was second with 46. Minoa met Jordan, the Western champion, at Griffin Field for the championship game. The game was played under very adverse weather conditions. Jordan displayed a very good brand of football and was ahead much of the way. But Minoa's team was not to be denied. They scored a touchdown with a minute to go and won by a score of 31 to 24. The scoring for the year went as follows: Minoa Opp. 30 Lafayette 00 46 Manl ius 6 40 Jamesvil le 20 39 Tully I8 28 Fabius I2 18 Onondaga Central 13 The Minoa basketball team also had a good season. They were second only to Manlius and had a record of fourteen wins and six losses for the season. 944 points were scored in their favor as opposed to 810 for the opponents. The team thus averaged 47.2 points per game while holding their opponents to 40.5 points. , The scoring for the games was as follows: Minoa Opp. 51 Fabius 45 45 Lafayette 52 53 Jamesville 42 49 Tully 42 34 Manlius 47 55 Fabius 35 56 Onondaga Central 35 62 Lafayette 44 49 Jamesville 34 51 Tully 52 lovertimei 36 Manlius 38 46 Onondaga Central 37 52 Split Rock 29 lnon-leaguei 47 Fayetteville 31 lnon-league, 50 Split Rock 41 lsectionali 45 Onondaga Central 38 lsectionali 54 Jamesville 44 fsectionali 38 Elbridge 49 fsectionali 46 Jamesville 31 fplayoffi 30 Manlius 44 fplayoffl The Jayvee team also deserves mention here. They went through their season undefeated and racked up sixteen wins. They were finally beaten by a very tall Solvay team in a game which decided the county championship. The baseball season was slow getting under way because of weather conditions. The team tried hard to better itself over the team of a year ago. Their schedule included games with Central Square, Manlius, Fabius, Jamesville, Onondaga Central, Tully, and Lafayette. R. R. T.

The summer vacation was over, And the school year had just begung First we went out for soccerg We played hard -- but had lots of fun. Cheerleading tryouts came next -- oh bliss! Of course, we tried extra hard for this. The result --legs and backs so sore, We could hardly climb up the stairs any more! Volleyball came in the month of Novemberg The faculty game we hate to remember. We served and spiked and vollied that ball And finally won a game or two after all. The G.A.A. Bake Sale was a success, But they're selling stationery nevertheless. The girls started another sport this year, We've a lot to learn about bowling, I fear. We plunged into basketball with our usual zestg With a gift for loosing we seemed to be blest. We bounced on the tramp without any spills, The mats and springboard gave us plenty of thrills. Spring and badminton arrived at last We swung, hit, or missed -- as the birdie flew past. Do we play? Oh, you bet! The question is -- will we get the ball over the net? With bats and balls, we're out for fun, As round the diamond we all run. Now, the end of four short years draws near, But we know these memories we'll always hold dear. G. F. B. I I
