For the third time in the history of Murray High School, the basketball team has won a berth in the State Tournament. The team, under Coach Reed Swenson, displayed a type of basketball and fight that has characterized former Murray teams. Murray came through with six wins and four defeats. As a result there was a triple tie for second place: jordan, Cyprus and Murray. A ln the play-off series, Cyprus trounced jordan for the right to meet Murray in the final game. ln defeating Cyprus, Murray staged a comeback that has never before been equaled in the history of the school, thus winning a berth in the state classic. ln the Tournament. Murray met with only fair success, winning the first game and losing the next two. However, consolation is found in the fact that the state-champion's, Hinckley, defeated Murrav by a bare margin of three polnts. It can be said that Murray had a very successful season and with five lettermen returning next year the prospects of a good team are very bright.
