Utilizing all the talents of his cagers, head coach Chuck Sedgwick and assistant coach Sherm Hafner thrilled capacity crowds at one game after another. For the first time in Rich basketball history the varsity Rockets de- feated both Bloom and Thornton during regular sea- son play. Depending on hustle and speed, the Rockets compiled the most impressive record since 1955g 17 wins and 7 losses. The team bowed out of state competition only after exhibiting the tremendous determination that was characteristic of the whole yearls effort. Bellnup drives for basket. - '
