Basketball The Hawks didn't have as good a record this year as the Hawks of last year, but they did add a trophy to the trophy case. The team had a record of 14 wins against 12 losses. The second team, sparked by Jack Stoneking and their 6' 3 1-2 center, Merle Post, won 14 games and lost 6. The Fresh- men team placed third in the Mendon Freshmen Tournament. The varsity had tough luck in tournament play this season as they lost to Bowen in the quarter finals of the Hancock County Tournament by two points. The Hawks defeated Warsaw and Mendon to win the Mendon Holoday Tournament. Bowen again defeated Plymouth by two points in the district finals. This year found the Hawks two leading scorers, Dick Miller and Jerry Cookson, occupying the forward slots. Miller scored 311 points while Cook- son netted 206. The center position was handled by Carl Van Fleet who did a lot of rebounding and was fourth high scorer. The guard positions were handled by Harry Rash and Ross Sargent, both Seniors, who did a very good job of bringing the ball up court. The reserves were Jim Rankin, Junior Hitz, Jack Stoneking, Merle Post, Darrell Boos, and Kayo McCullom. Mc- Cullom joined the squad after Boos was forced to quit because of sickness. The Hawks lose only Rash and Sargent by graduation so things look favor- able for a good team next year.
