Wag 4 . , -fi V '- - ' -Q K Wi'fif'ff5 f I 5 I - X. J Our varsity dribblers and shooters compiled a 5-14 record this season under the able leadership of Coach Edwards. Our predominately underclass lineup dropped a hotly disputed 46-45 decision in the season's lidlifter to Bald Eagle. Sweet revenge was gained one month later in the form of a 41-37 win on the Eagle's court. Two wins and an overtime loss coupled with the Bald Eagle games started the season spectacularly with the onset of Central Penn League action, Penns Valley's fortunes dropped. The Rams, along with the Mountaintoppers from Renovo, are the only class B schools in an otherwise A league. These two contested hotly for a position in the district class B play- offs. Two weeks after losing 66-32 at Lock Haven, we staged a dramatic comeback against the league champion Bobcats at home. The effort fell short 39-37 with Penns Valley in control of the ball at the final whistle. VARSITY BASKETBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL RAMS OPP. RAMS OPP.

Preparing boys for varsity and junior varsity football is the aim of a junior high coach. We found much lacking in our squad, but there were bright points also. We traveled first to Chief Logan where the Rams found the Mingoes were too experienced and we dropped a 25-O verdict. Playing Bald Eagle at home, we battled on even terms for three quarters, but a pass cost the Rams the contest, score, Eagles 6, Rams O. Being host to Lock Haven, we found the Bobcats too strong and lost 26-7. Traveling to State College the Rams encountered an experienced Junior Lion team. The Lions recorded the victory 41-6.

Our junior Varsity shooters, under the leadership of Mr. Karpinski, compiled a 2-17 record for the year. The Rams captain, Fred Miller, found the Rams winning their first game against Bald Eagle, but not having the necessary form to win the following games. The Junior Rams, although losing, became experienced and much better toward the end of the season. 1' heir game against jersey Shore proved that the mistakes of previous games were being corrected. The boys feel next year's team will be much better.
