'B .7 This year Mount Dora High School was again host to two basketball tournaments - the Cen- tral Florida Conference tournament held Febru- ary 12, 15, and 14 and the Class C State tour- nament larcn 11, 12, and 13. As both tourneys were packed with close, hard fought games, the capacity crowds witnessed plenty of dexterous, fast basketball. Apopka,seeded first in the conference tour- nament, flashed on through to win the champi- onship while Tavares, seeded third but de- feating Mount Dora in the semi-finals, took second place. In the girls' tourney Tavares downed Uma- tilla in the finals to become the feminine conference champions. After the final game trophies and basketballs were awarded to the deserving teams, and the all - conference team was named. Havana,defending Class C State champions, easily roared to victory and retained their title by eliminating Chum ckla in the finals. Pierson, a local team, played excellent ball and won two games although they were edged out by Chumuckla in the semi-finals. In an added attraction the Weirsdale girls, playing the Tavares saxtet, won by the narrow margin of 51-29-g At the completion of the tourney, trophies and baaketballs were awarded to the winners and runners-up, but no all- state team was selected.
