The Ogden Basketball team of 1940-41 will be remembered by the people and stub dents as a team which Went out to win each game. The boys fought hard and by looking at the score it can be seen that they lost- only eight games and won twenty-two, a re- cord that is exceedingly good considering the fact that the tallest man on the barely touches the six foot mark.'. - The team played in four tournaments and did exceptionly well in all of them. In the Oakwood Invitational Tournamentl ' they defeated Oakwood-and St, Joseph to win the tournament axd a beautiful trophy, In the County Tournament Ogden suf- ferred a little tough luck and was beaten in the second game by Sadcrus. Things went a little better however in the District Tournament. -The team was beaten by Homer in the finals of that tournament. However by winning second place they advanced on into the Regional. ln this tournament they were eliminated by Urbana in a close victory. A -T ' Urbana went on toptake second place in the State. The fact that Urbana beat Ogden by only four points makes the Ogden team lookIpretty good, doesn't it? The Ogden Scftballers enjoyed an al- most perfect season this year, winning four and losing only one game.l The team played brilliant ball and displayed exce- lent sportsmanship and teamwork. We're hoping that they can keep up the good work and win many more for nDear Old OGHS.np Don't fail us,4boysF',.p'
