Coach Mitchell Retires In the end of February Coach Lee Mitchell told his team that he would quit the coaching profession at the end of the 1973-4 season. “I guess after 28 years I’m just tired of it all those practices from October to March and all those games ...” he said without finishing the sentence. For more data see the sports division page. The seniors claimed the top six scoring slots for the 1973-4 team which finished with a 4-16 record. Thirteen players saw action and six of them will return. In the tournament Monroe crashed Stoughton 74-51 in the subregional, but then could not get it together against Janesville Craig, suffering a 77-61 defeat. Steve Sutter, a starter for three years, averaged 16.5 points per game. He also won the Times Freethrow Award. Mark Eiserman and John Miller followed with 11.5 and 6.6 points per game. Bill Rufenacht and Bob Silvis led the rebounding position with 7.8 and 6.9 retrieves. The girls Basketball team found themselves pitted against Junior High guys as well as other girls teams in the area. Their coach. Miss Odell, was not present for the photo. Girls sports are slowly becoming a well established unit. We are looking to the future now and trying to guess who is going to fill the position of head basketball coach. We would like to see the impressive records of Coach Mitchell challenged. But that is a very steep order. 28
