Varsity Lt. to Rt-. D. Replogle, L. Ritchey, J. Ayers. A. Callihan. H. Callihan, B. Replogle, T. Stoudnour, R. Smith, L. Zook, B. Leidy. R. Carper, Ooach Croft. At the conclusion of the 1958-59 basket- ball season Cove posted a 12-8 record. Cove's followers were somewhat pessimistic over the team's chances this year. The loss of Bice, Bush and Smeltzer seemed too much to overcome. But they did not anticipate the coaching of Mr. Croft and the great ability and spirit of returnees Ayers, Zook, and Leidy. This year three of our senior varsity play- ers were elected to play on the league All Star team. The seniors were John Ayers first string, Bill Leidy second string, and Leon Zook re- ceived honorable mention. John Ayers set a new record of 349 points to break his brother Don's record. His average this year is 18 points a game. John received a trophy from the business men of the community for being high scorer on the team. Ayers is the first man on the team ever to receive such a trophy. He also was the recipient of the Juniata Valley Good Sportsmanship Award presented by the Blair County Chapter of basketball officials. Con- gratulations John. As we go to press, another great cage team has added to the lustre of Cove's basketball history. Our sincere congratulations to our coach and splendid team. Page Seventy- Four
