tie for fifth in District 2AAAA with 7 14 Taking third in the Santa Fe Invita- tional, the Big Blue tied for fifth with Del Norte in District 2AAAA basketball standings with a 5-8 district mark. Under a new districting program de- signed to place all schools in A districts, former C districts were made into A, B were changed to AA, A went to AAA and AA were made into AAAA. This new districting was put into affect at the beginning of wrestling and basketball seasons. Ending the season with a 7-14 record, the basketballers lost to West Mesa in the first round of the District QAAAA Tournament 64-47. West Mesa won the District 2AAAA crown, beating Albuquerque High in a double overtime by a squeaker of 55-53. Beginning the season with a 58-57 victory over Rio Grande, the Matador hoopsters lost the next eight, finally beating Valley on Jan. 20. Defeating Los Alamos 65-57 and los- ing to Albuquerque Academy 67-64, the Big Blue were victorious over DNHS to capture third place in the Santa Fe In- vitational. Senior Joe Bogie led the varsity in scoring, while John Hicks and Rich Gates, junior, added rebounding power. After suffering morale problems in mid-season, Coach Don Torgerson was forced to bring up four juniors from the junior varsity. Starting juniors Larry Tut- tle and Gates will form a strong nucleus for next year's team. Novilleros, junior varsity, ended a 14- 7 season by taking second in the city B Team Tournament, losing to DNHS 53- 43 in the finals. Art Casias and John Neville were named to the all-tourna- ment team. Finishing second to Manzano in the St. Pius Invitational, sophomore basket- ballers also ended with a 14-7 season mark. above, left: Joe Bogle puts it up as Kim Dyke and John Hicks stand by in case of a rebound in the first Rio Grande game won 58-57 Dec. 5. above, right: Gary Wayland, Rich Gates, Norman Cline, and Dyke strive to take the rebound from the Highland Hornets in a game played Jan. 13. left: Varsity members are Steve Parker, John Hicks, Bill Camp- bell, Joe Bogle, Lee Billingsley, Larry Tuttle, second row: Coach Don Torgreson, Mike DeLoIIis, mgr., Denny Rogers, Norman Cline, Rich Gates, Clarence Catanach, mgr. right: Leading scorer for the Big Blue, Joe Bogie, puts a fake on a Hornet in the Feb. 7 game.
