The green 1950-51 edition of the Junior Black Horses cage team had a rough road tc travel, and in spite of their lack of previous experience when the season opened the baby hoopsters have turned out to be a capable outfit that have played together with no one performer standing out to the exclusion of his team mates. The entire baby squad is made up of freshmen and sophomores who promise to bloom into a winning combination in a year or two. Though losing more games than they have won to date the Juniors have shown a fast-moving and aggressive brand of ball, and have shown lots of scrap and hustle against bigger and more experienced J. V. teams to make up for their lack of size. They have lost a few tough one-point games but with a little luck could have been winners and may get a few more victories before the season is over. Regardless of game records this young and green Junior squad has shown marked improvement from the first night they stepped out on the court, a scared group of youngsters to play their first game in interscholastic competition representing their school.
