I. li E V I E VV The 1940 Sarasota High School Basketball team compiled, probably, the best record of any basketball team throughout the season and of any team in the history of the school, playing 19 games in their regular schedule, winning 16 and losing 3. They defeated Boca Grande and lost to K. M. I. out of the conference. They won within the conference from Bartow twice, Palmetto twice, Punta Gorda twice, Arcadia twice, Wauchula twice, Winter Haven twice, Fort Myers twice, Bradenton once, and lost to Bradenton once. Throughout the season they compiled a total of 628 points to their opponent's 483 points. The squad this year was composed of 10 boys, which was divided into two teams -the first team composed of Arden McNeill, Kenneth Purtz, Ralph Matherly, D. J. Michael, and Jack Mooreg the second team composed of John Moore, U. G. Matherly, Joe Leatherman, Frank Logan, and Jack Scott. Arden McNeil, captain of the Sailors this year, was high point man throughout the season with a total of 178 points Kenneth Purtz, the lanky center on the squad, is second high point man with 128 points. Ralph Matherly, Sailor guard, was third high point man with 104 points. Arden McNeil and Ralph Matherly received additional honors by making first and second team all-conference. Although these boys failed to win the South Florida Conference championship, they received the distinction of being chosen number one team in the South Florida Conference and number two in the district. Although these 'boys lost to Bartow in the semi-finals in the South Florida Conference Tournament and the quarter-finals in the District Tournament, they won the praise of Sarasota fans throughout the season with their neat ball handling and basketball shooting. lfffrlf-1f'f,-.1 fxfx
