W A T 1 C Y H S We Are the Devilsw The 1956-57 edition of the Richland Red Devils blazed through to one of the finest basketball seasons in many years. Headed by Mr. Basketball, Jim Robinson, and hot shooting-dependable, Charley Florey, and the rest of the team battled every team, all the way. Losing only to Attica and Veedersburg the Devils won 11 games preparing for the Wabash Va Lley Prelims. This title was captured by our boys in a thrilling 59-58 victory over the Covington Trojans. We then moved on to Rockville where we de- feated Rosedale 54-45 in a well-played game. The next night, with all of Richland Twp. in the stands cheering them on, the Red Devils were dropped 65-63 in an overtime by a hot shooting Clinton team. The boys fought back brilliantly, coming from 9 points back to the score 59-59 at the end of regulation time, before falling in the frantic 3 final minutes. The record stands at 15 victories and 3 defeats moving into the final month of action. We are all looking forward to the State Tournament, where re gardless of the outcome, we know our 1956-57 Red Devils will have fought with every ounce of heart they have to bring more honors to our School, our Fans, our Coach, and to themselves. 34 v A H
