Roger Davis jumps high for two points. Coach Gene Torczon gives instructions to the team during a time-out. Warriors Upset Madison, Advance to District Finals Nine straight losses, an exciting win, two 22-point losses, a home court win, four defeats, and two big wins before one final defeat was the story in wins and losses for the 1963-64 Warrior basketball team. However, the 4-16 record isn't the whole story. The Warriors lost seven games by under seven points. Dnly six of the twenty games were played at home. Thirteen of the games were against competition which at various times in the season had been rated in the top ten of their class. The Warriors caught fire in the District Tournament in Fremont. In the first round they avenged an earlier loss to David City by clipping the Scouts 42-36. They knocked off the undefeated Madison 43-42 in the semi-finals. In the finals Schuyler put up a supreme effort before bowing to David City Aquinas 46-43. For the third consecutive year the team under the guidance of Coach Gene Torczon pushed up their free throw percentage to 66 per cent. Dave .Tohnk led the Warriors in scoring with 241 points.

Win Over Columbus Highlights Reserves' ll-14 Seoson A two-point victory over the Columbus Reserves was the highlight of the Schuyler Reserves' 1963-64 basketball season. The 11-4 season record was the same as the 1962-63 record, but Coach Dennis Nelson said this year's record meant more because the team had less help from varsity squad members. The squad found the home court to their liking as they vvon all six games played on it. The team's 77 points against Fullerton was a record. Ted Longacre was the high scorer with 184 points. His field goal percentage was 37.9. Dick Qualsett and Ken Cudly scored 123 and 80 points, respectively. Leading in rebounds with 164 was Melvin Brichacek. Cudly had 131 rebounds and Qualsett 105. The highest free throw percentage was 67.7made by Qualsett who made 33. Longacre, though, made the most free throws, 58, with a percentage of 61.
