For the first time in many years, Mt. Vernon won their first round sectional game against Wilton. ln their next game they lost to West Liberty, and ended their season. With many young players, the team gained valuable ex- perience which will prove valuable in years to come.

The Mt.Vernon JV Boys' Basketball team had a very fine group of athletes this year. The team, which consisted of l2 sophomores and only 2 freshmen end the season with an 8-10 record. What their record doesn't show is that in the five games in a row they lost, they lost by less than 3 points each. According to Sophomore Jeff Meeker, the high point of the season was dur- ing the Iowa City Regina game when the boys came back to win from a 10 point deficit with 2 minutes left in the game.
