Sports Rockfield is proud of its basketball team this year. It has proved itself to be one of the most capable teams to hit R. H. S, in quite a few years. An indomitab- le spirit, smart playing, and creditable sportsmanship dominated the play of the Indians this year. The boys on the team have been waiting for this year for quite a long time. They've played together for several years. Now, this year, their d- reams have come true. They've become a winning team that is feared greatly by the best teams in Carroll County and also teams of other counties. The Knotholers began the season by conquering the Crickets of Deer Creek by a score of 30-ZZ. Rockfield's victory string of one was very rudely broken by Camden. The Indians played this game with-out the services of Herb Bowman,t- he center of their team. Then came a game that almost became an everlasting b- lack mark upon the record of the R.H. S. Netman. Altho' still playing without H:- wman, they were vastly over-confident of bowling over the luckless Adams team without too much adieu. The final score was Z5-22. But it took an overtime to defeat the scrappy Tigers from Adams. After suffering a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Cutler by a mere two points, the battling basketteers of the Old Alma Mater kicked the dope bucket for a loop by administering a sensational defeat upon a heavily-favored five from Ca- rrolton. This 30-27 victory really set the stronger teams in the county back on their ears and gained respect for the Knotholers from all who heard about or saw the encounter. Again playing without the sacrifices of one of the stalwarts, this time Captain Bill Galbreth, Rock.fie1d.gained its second victory of the season over the Deer Cr- eek squad by a low score of Z0 - 13. The Indians suffered two more close losses in the regular season play. The f- irst being at the hands of New Waverly by a score of 32-27, Then the most sorry, heart-rending defeat suffered by the Indians was slapped right in their faces. Af- ter leading all through the game, the Indians saw the Onward Redcoats come from behind to win a 26-Z5 decision. The warriors played Camden in the County Tourney and the Red Devils thum- ped the Knotholers 36-27. The game was much closer than the score indicates. A devastating barrage of accurate basket-sniping led by the deadly-shooting Le- Roy Powell, pulled the Indians within 4 points of the Camden netters. But perso - nal fouls caused the downfall of the Rockfield gang and Camden went home with a 36-Z7 triumph. After the tournament, the Indians engaged the Adams Township netters in ihdr second game of the season with them. The game was played at Burnettsville. 'Die Rockfield netters trampled the opponents with a torrent of baskets that paved the way to a 4-9-21 victory.
