The Panthers spent a season in building that- should produce some outstanding results. The B team has several outstanding boys that are varsity material and proved just that, in the last part of the season and dur- ing the district tournament. Three Sopho- mores were moved to the varsity squad to finish the season and did a very fine job, They were Tom Rabourn, Alan Yeager and Noel Crown. Crown proved to be a veteran by turning in an outstanding performance in the Meeker game at the tournament, Other promising sophomores and freshmen that should help build Range1y's basketball program next season are Richard Brenton, Charles Murano, Larry Streigel, Max Ful- lenwider, Jerry Mock, Gary Gurr and Joel Hogan. All of these boys played a season of B ball and should make the jump to the varsity next season. Coach Cowan will lose by graduation only two players that finished the season on the varsity squad The team s play this sea son was of adifferent brand Instead of play ing a ball control and deliberate type of game the Panthers employed the fast break and also used a zone defense A great deal of time was spent in mastering the funda mentals and should prove to be an advantage for next season A great deal of basketball was learned by the Panthers this season and they received a basketball very good lesson in the fine points of the game when they played the Rock Springs, Wyoming team, Coach Cowan believes that a team learns more by playing a good team than by playing two poor teams, The ter- rific schedule the Panthers played ended up in the state tournamentsg two from Utah, one from Wyoming, and one from Colorado, With all these facts in mind the Panthers had a great season and barring the loss of some key players, Rangely could very well be the dark horse in league play next season. Even though they finished last in league play this season, a great improvement was shown when they finished in the number four spot in the district tournament ahead of Meeker and Steamboat Springs. Yes, it was a good season for all because we have these scores to remember, Rangely 49 Meeker 48 Rangely 60 Meeker RANGELY B HAS BRILLIANT YEAR The promise for a good basketball team is in the making at our high school The young freshmen and sophomores of the out standing B team finished the season with a brilliant 21 to 5 record including a few fresh man games SMITTY S BARBER SHOP BAND BOX CLEANERS FORBES FURNITURE CO CLASS OF 1958

As wrestling seasons go this current season was one of the finest Rangely High School has enjoyed, Besides winning a good per- centage of the team matches, the Panther squad sent two of its best boys to the state tournament. Bill Turner and Dean Barrett hold the honor of being the first Rangely boys to ever have taken part in a state meet, Both boys made a fine showing, Dean placing sec- ond in the heavyweight division and Bill winning a second place in the 165 pound class. ln the district tournament Bill Turner took a first place in his class, and Dean Barrett wrestled his way to a second place berth, Ronald Hayden, very promising junior mem- ber of the team, was eliminated in this dis- trict tournament, but only after staging a thrilling match with his opponent,
