Dave Price scrambles for a rebound with Hilltopper Tom Lampman lniuries Hurt Cagers An opening pre-season loss to William Fleming seemed to fore- shadow events to come as Mr. Len Mosser began his first season as coach of the Patrick Henry bas- ketball team. After much practicing and hard work in pre-season drills, the Pat- riots seemed ready to be top con- tenders in their league. Early in- juries though cut down the Pat- riots' pre-season hopes, and spirit was dimmed even more after the loss of several close games. The i8-game schedule was dotted with very hard teams that the Patriots fought with evenly to the end, but the loss of starters W. J. Blane and Mac MacClung hurt greatly. The games the Patriots wanted to win this year were the games they won as the team scored two decisive victories over close-rival Jefferson High School. Other vic- tories came over George Washing- tan of Danville, Halifax, and An- drew Lewis of Salem. Mac MacClung looks stymied by three William Fleming Coloriels but still makes the shot before a capacity crowd at the P.H. gym. 59
