They came to New Troy on December 10 where they were beaten 66-46. Dean Boyd this time hit 20 points. On December 14, the Trojans went to Eau Claire, where they played a much improved Beaver team. After a hard fought contest the Trojans again were the winners, 55-49. Jerry Schaffer led the Trojans scoring attack with 18 points. The Bridgman Bees then invaded New Troy's gym, they were soundly defeated 67-46. Gene Johnson sent 33 points swishing through the nets, his highest one game output. The first game of the new year was played January 7, against Baroda on the Bulldogs court. Dean Boyd hit for 21 points as the Trojans won their sixth Qout of sixj game of the season. The final score was 69-54. On January 11, we traveled to Covert for a non-conference game against the highly rated Covert five. In one of our lowest scoring games of the year, the Trojans went down to their first defeat, 48-42. Dean Boyd and Gene Johnson led the New Troy scoring with 10 points each. THE game came next. On January 13, at the neutral St. Joseph Ponies gym, we engaged the Three Oaks Oakers, with the conference lead at stake. Though the Oakers leading scores were held down, their center, Grigel, got hot dunking in 37 points. The Oakers emerged victorious after a hard fought contest 60-51. Gene Johnson led the Trojans with 22 points. On January 18, the men of Troy went to Galien where they downed the Gaels 65-48. Gene Johnson again scored 22 points. The Stevensville team next came to our gym to take on the second-place Trojans. They left on the end of a 65-54 score, as Jerry Schaffer led the Trojans scoring with 19 points. On January 25, we went to Edwardsburg, where we again won, 66-40. Dean Boyd contributed 27 points to the Trojan cause. Next, on January 28, we traveled to New Buffalo, where Gene Johnson added 22 points to his season's total, and the Trojans won 72-58. On February 1, the Eau Claire Beavers came to New Troy, and did what they should not have done---beat us by 1 point. Gene Johnson had 32 points, but an Eau Claire free throw in the final seconds spelled the Trojans second conference loss. We got back on the victory trail on February 4, as we beat Bridgman, 73-54, Gene Johnson again scored 22 points. On February 9, the Covert team came to Troy, and the Trojans experienced another non-conference defeat, 63-59, after a hard fought battle. Dean Boyd led the Trojans scoring with 16 points. Baroda's Bulldogs come to New Troy on February 11. Inthe Trojan's highest scoring game of the year, the Bulldogs were defeated 84-55, as Gene Johnson dunked in 25 points. The Annual deadline came before the Three Oaks and Galien games had been played, so those scores have to be omitted.
