WARRIDRS MAKE STA TE After a nerve-shattering district tourney, climaxed by one-point victory over North Bend, the Warriors finally gained a berth in the State Basketball tournament. lthad come like rain after a nineteen-year drought, and, although they were eliminated in the first round by Hebron, excitement of the moment could not be surpressed. The roundballers took the first six in a row, including a second victory in the David City Holiday Tournament. After this, the Warriors met the heavy end of the schedule and dumped tough games to Ord, North Bend, Ralston, Crete, Fullerton, Scotus and York. These losses were compensated for by wins over Seward, Clarkson, and Wahoo. The height of the regular season was a rousing two-point victory overStateChampion Millard, dealing them their second and final loss. Going into the District Tournament at Howells, things were not all wine and roses, but a win over David City and a thrilling overtime win over Scotus brought the Warriors into the finals for the third year in a row. ln the grandest of grand finales, Larry Horejsi sank two free throws with eight seconds left to give Schuyler the win and touch off a wild mass surge onto the court. The first round foe of the Warriors was the Hebron Bears, but their speed and accuracy were too much for the young Warriors. Coach Gene Torczon, commenting on the '65-'66 season, said, lt was a re- warding year, considering that it had to be considered a rebuilding season, and the end- ing was fantastic. l'm sure the boys can never forget the thrill of playing in the Big Barn and we'll be glad to give it another try next year.
