January 27 At Rockport Rockport 82-Vinalhaven 34 As we rolled along in our undefeat- ed Class S role, We considered this game the best display of teamwork of all. The first team played the first half while the reserves played the last half. January 29 At Appleton Rockport 56-Appleton 48 We just couldn't see being beaten, so we came from behind to rack up another win and clinch the top spot in the Eastern Division of the Bulwer League, undefeated. The scoring in this game was well balanced with Sullivan and Gross taking the leads with 13 and 12 points. Also, we must mention the classy brand of ball that freshman, 'tButch Farley, played to put us ahead. February 2 At Rockport Rockport 57-Thomaston 64 Maybe we didn't win this one, but good old Rockport was very proud of the fast and coordinated teamwork which was displayed against this towering team. Small but fast, Butch Farley led our scoring with 15 points. February 5 At Rockport Rockport 64-Warren 8 We had little difficulty in taking this one, with Robert Nape making 16 points for high honors. The second string played the last half of the game and did a real Ubang-up job. February 9 At Camden Rockport 49-Camden 70 This was a close game at the first half, but then Camden started scor- ing and we never did catch up. Sulli- van and Crockett teamed up with 14 and 10 points respectively. This game was to end our regular schedule until February 16, Bulwer League Cham- pionship Day. THE TATLER 25 BULWER LEAGUE PLAY-OFF February 16 5 At Wiscasset Rockport 66-Litchfield 60 This was anyone's game. It was probably the fastest and best under- pressure game that we played all sea- son. Litchfield rushed out to an 18-12 lead at the start. Still going strong, the score at the half was still theirs, 35-27. Then came the third quarter! Crockett and B. Farley teamed up on scoring and Rockport took the lead for the first time, 55-51. And then it happened! Sullivan and Gross fouled out! Our chances looked rather dim, but do you think we were going to lose a Championship? The subs came in and I just can't describe the won- derful job that the little Beaver team did. Crockett, B. Farley, and Sullivan held the honors with 19, 16 and 12 points respectively, and before we knew it, the second straight boys' championship had come to good old Rockport High. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT February 19 At Camden Rockport 74-Bridge 15 Our first game in the Regional Tournament was not very difficult, with everyone seeing action. The scoring was by H. Crockett, B. Farley, and T. Sullivan with 15, 13, and 12 points respectively. . February 20 At Camden Rockport 58-Wiscasset 47 Knowing that this team could ruin our chance for the State Tournament, everyone knew that he had to work extra hard. Sullivan and Crockett took scoring honors with 20 and 17 points respecitvely. February 20 At Camden Rockport 42-Union 30 After playing a strong game that afternoon, the Beavers were a little tired. The game was close all the way, but as the last whistle blew, it found

'79 THE TATLER ,ur fast-breaking outfit winning the Regional Tournanent and entering the State of Maine Class S Tourna- ment, undefeated in Class S compe- tition. Harold Crockett and Carlton Farley had the scoring honors with 13 and 10 points respectively. IVESTERN MAINE STATE TOURNAMENT February 25 At Lewiston Rockport 42-Kingfield 50 Finally, the long awaited moment had come! As the Beavers took the floor in the first quarter, you could see the tension which was built up inside of every player. Kingfield, playing a different brand of ball than we have ever seen, made it difficult for us to stop them. With the regulars not hitting at all, we didn't show much scoring throughout the game. Butch Farley was high scorer with 13 points. Just a Word to tournament teams: Good old Rockport High never gives up!! We want the Seniors to know that they did a wonderful job and we are going to miss them next year.
