They defeated Cimarron for the first time in history and fin- ished with third place in the Hi-Plains League. The teamwork was exceptional this year, scor- ing more points (159) than their combined op- ponents, never failing to score in any game. The Satanta Indians came from the bottom to 3rd place in the Hi-Plains League this year. Their record was 10 wins and 10 losses. What they lacked in height they made up for it in fight and spirit. The Indians finished the season in a blaze of glory by winning the District Championship for the second time in the history of the school. Sponsored by: T. M.
