-4- . . an ,v....-Mp.,-1-,., 1--egg-...np ----r Ln f Hounds Win Western Division Title Season Summary Season Scores 2nd Region XVI 1st Moberly Classic 1st Hutchinson Classic Dennis Hill All-Region Team Otis Jackson All-Region Team The Greyhound's season of 1972-73 was one of pure astonishment. Under new coaches and only three returnees from last season, very few people thought the Hounds would do well just to accomplish a .500 season. They proved to do much more than that. After a slow start of a 5-5 first half record, the Hounds rolled to 13 straight victories. Coach Spoon- hour broke the record of 16 wins as a freshman coach formerly owned by Cotton Fitzsimmons by having a 26-9 season slate. Another record was set by winning the Western Division Title in Region XVI by a first-year coach. The leading scorer for the Hounds during the regular season was Dennis Hill who had a 17.6 scoring average. Vernon Dixon was the leading rebounder with a 15 per game average. But it was not only two or three players who carried the Greyhounds, it was a complete unit. The coaches as well as the student body and people of Moberly should be pleased and proud of the astonishing ac- complishments the Moberly Greyhounds have brought to the community. . . - . .. .. . .V ..,.e.f.fe...a..afa.a1:.1.z- '- 1 . . . ,. .. ..

Otis Jackson, co-captain of the team did a great job for the team this year in leadership, scoring, assists, and overall ability while on the floor. Otis is a native of Kansas City, Mis- souri. Some of his main hobbies are listening to music, preferably .limi Hendrix, and playing a game of billiards. After leaving MAJC, he plans to keep playing basketball in a major university and then perhaps on to professional ball.
