V ' gi nan, tb JERRY HARDIN . f 11 'WX CHUCK LA BE E -will RAY ANDERSON ROCKY ATWELL Captain Uafmdq a5'a.4lmt6aLl The Orion Chargers again had a winning year in basketball. The Chargers placed second place in the conference with a record of ten wins and four losses. The team lacked some height but showed con- tinuously throughout the season that height didn't mean everything. It is surprising what a small team that has speed and good ball handling will do to a tall team. ln the Cornbelt Tournament, the Chargers took second place, defeating Winola and Alwood easily, but losing a very close game to Cambridge for the championship. This year the team was coached by Leonard Plunkett. This was Mr. Plunkett's first year of coaching at Orion. Gary Weigel and Bill Rhodenbaugh were chosen for the All-Conference second team. The major letter winners this year the seniors were, Rocky Atwell, Gary Wiegel, Wayne Rehn, Jerry Hardin, Chuck LaBee. The iuniors were: Bill Rhodenbaugh, Dick Atwell, Ray Anderson and Darrell Edson.

Their record was twenty wins with only two losses. All indications show that we should have a promising varsity squad for the near future. The Little Chargers made fourteen undefeated starts in conference play. For the fourth consecutive year the Freshmen and Sophomores have won the Cornbelt Conference.
