The team started the season with only one let- terman, Cal Barto, who proved to be the mainstay of the team. Cal finished second among the West Branch Conference high scorers with a 19 point average. luexperience, coupled with a lack of height, proved disastrous during the first halt of the season. 62 Mant.

Cel that balll However, as the team matured, with senior regulars Gary Markham, Bob Ravert, and George Novinger showing improvement, the caliber of basketball im- proved, and, despite their poor win-loss record, the boys were respected throughout the league as the hustling team capable of making trouble on any given night. The junior boys, Kip Hall, Ronnie Foust, and Whit Wertz, gave hopes for an improved future for the round hallers!

Montgomery opened its 1963-64 football season under the direction of three new coaches. Mr. Rich- ard Johns, head coach and Mr. Richard Hart and Mr. John Ebner, his assistants. Certainly a record of -1-6 was good for Mr. Johns' first year as coach. The games contained more than the usual amount of ulcer-producing moments for both play- ers and coaches. The coaching staff was plagued with an unusual number of dropouts and injuries. However, they had high praise for the boys who remained and completed what proved to he a very interesting season of football. The scores of some of the games do not really tell the complete story. For instance, the game with JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL Hughesville proved to be one of the most exciting of the season. We lost the game in the last eight seconds-a close one and a thriller. On the other hand, we beat Mitliinburg in the last ten seconds of the game. With a fourth down and eight situa- tion, fullback Mike Koziol went over for the T. D. The final score was 21-20. Another feat registered by Montgomery was that halfback Jim Ring scored a T. D. in every game except the last one. This was the longest con- secutive scoring record in the West Branch League for the 1963-64 season. We wish to congratulate the 1963-64 Red Raid- ers for a fine performance.
