Baine Adams Leads Rams to portsmanship Award Early season injuries and illnesses, plus a tougher schedule, combined to help the 1968 Provine Rams to their first losing season in several yearsg how- ever, the Ram roundballers had a much better team than their 10-14 record indicated. No team that beat the red and gray had a losing season, and Provine annexed wins over such cage powers as Brookhaven, South Big-8 runner-up by a score of 57-51, Vicksburg, western sub-district AA runner-up by a 70-59 margin, Central, North Big-8 champs, 51-48g and Raymond, district VI A runner-up by a 70-53 count. The Rams received the coveted sportsmanship award in the Murrah Invitational Tournament. Leading the Rams was forward Baine Adams. Although plagued with illnesses all season, he proved to be a bulwark on offense as he won the city individual scoring title with his 18.6 point average and was named to all-tournament teams in the Murrah Invitational, South Big-8, and Dis- trict Vl AA tournaments. Bobby Pennebaker C425 goes up to block Tidwell's C411 shot in thc Wlingfield game.

urrah, it Champions, Downs Provine 27-7 Cross-town rival Murrah took the opening kick- off and marched 69 yards in nine plays for the garnels first TDg however, the Ram offense caught fire immediately and battled back for a touchdown by Chris Bell. Les Adams converted to tie the score 7-7 and send the Mustangs into hysterics. Before the half Murrah added its second tally and came back with two more in the last quarter, bringing the final score to 27-7. Provine fell victim to Brookhaven and Meridian to set the stage for their final siege against winless Callaway. The Orange and Blue struck for nine quick points, and the Rams found themselves play- ing catch-up all the way. A six-yard pass from Phil Hogue to Johnny Outlaw narrowed the margim but the Rams were unable to push across another tally and ended up on the wrong side of a 9-7 score, bringing their season record to 0-9-1. Steve Codbold f63l, defensive back, uses lightning-flash speed to push Mustang runner out of bounds in Murrah game. Wingback Phil Hogue H21 makes a determined effort to snare the ball in the game with Central.
