Louisville, 28' Owensboro 21 X 7 7 Next the Red Devils bumped into their first real battle, the Louisville Male Purples. Louisville came to Owensboro expecting to walk away , with the hicks, but Owensboro gave them another say. The Red Devils outclassed Male High to win 28-21. Red Dearing netted 12 goals Qi QQ from field with his usual run of beautiful shots. Owensboro then ran 1 X ,L their total of consecutive up to 9 by defeating Central City, Henderson, if and Calhoun. The Red Devils found a hard nut to crack in Calhoun, due to the absence of Schaad from the line-up, but by overcoming a seven- Q' ggi, point lead in the final two minutes the Red Devils managed to pull the TQ, game out of the fire. ja' Frankfort came next and the Red Devils put it over the capital quin- l tet. Red Dearing apparently did not know how to miss them and had liiifll gif, scored 18 points before the smoke had cleared. Utica, Hartford, Central City, County High, Henderson, and Green- T., ville ran up a grand total of 16 great victories. W 1? 55 Then we journeyed to Louisville to have Male High break our string of victories by handing us a 32 to 26 defeat.

- UHCUXVENSBORAN S -f --.mf-A-,ggraii 1 7 I THE BASKETBALL SEASON HE basketball team of '27 proved itself both on the iloor and off to be one -of the best representatives Owensboro High School has ever had. The team of '27 not only won the admiration of all visiting teams and officials, but also showed that it was one of the best teams to ever fight for old O. H. S. Starting practice on December 7 with three lettermen and two men from the '26 squad, everything certainly looked rosy for a championship team and the Red Devils immediately set out to prove it. The first victim of the Red Devils was County Hi, whom the Imps easily scalped to the tune of 45 to 10. The Red Devils showed that they were one for all and all for one in the game, as the scoring was 7, 9, 13, and 13 for the four highest, Captain Weill and Schaad at their best with 13 points each. Then the Demons dropped Alumnae, Calhoun, Green- ville, and Utica in quick succession. The Alumnae certainly threw a scare into the Devils, but they buckled down to take the long end of a 27-21 score. Greatly handicapped by a small iioor the Demons conquered Calhoun 23-17. Greenville and Utica were pie for the Devils and were smothered 39-16 and 36-17 respectively. l fl A ll l 335 . al QU, 1 i 1 I 1 i if ll ' w 6 H S F? fl fe, l I , yi 21 Fovwwcl A M.b,'LlGf1lJ,l fel' A .S Q LX owl VA 1 Guard Guard CENTGY ll -QT-'vig 152 2 7 Page Sixty-two 1 f

The highly touted St. Xavier High of Louisville, National Catholic Champions of '26, came to meet the Red Devils with Dutch Hendricks, all-American running guard, as their mainstay. The Saints had the Red Devils slightly scared at the opening of the contest and jumped into a three-point lead. But the Red Devils retaliated with successive goals and -were upholding a 7- point lead at the half. Captain Weill's ankle began to slip in the last quarter and the Louisville team managed to break through with a 25 to 21 victory. Flash Woodward proved to be the Owensboro mainstay. Owensboro managed to win the Fourth District tournament in easy manner, defeating County High, Hartford, Calhoun, and Sacramento. The playing of the team during the Calhoun game was the best wit- nessed of the Owensboro fans this season. Next came the Regional tournament. The Red Devils came through by defeating Bowling Green to the score of 23-21 in a game that was fast and furious, Red Dearing's eagle-eye netting the winning marker with but 20 seconds left to play. Owensboro defeated the speedy Memorial five for the Regional championship. Three days later the team journeyed to Lexington, but drew Ashland for their first game. The Ashland Tom Cats defeated the Red Devils by the terrible score of 39-16. Thus ended the Basketball season of 1927.
