Farlberq porin 0l'l Basketball Class C Playoffs The Wolverines gained the chance to enter the District 9 Class C play-offs by compiling a finer record of wins than the other Class C team in their league. The first of preliminary play-offs matched the Wolverines against Horton Township on the Kane High School court. The Wolverines got off to a shaky start but splurged in the second half to outdistance their oppon- ents by a considerable 49 to 33 margin. This victory entitled Sheffield to meet Coudersport for the semi-final round at Bradford. Again the Wolverines were unable to click in the initial half and trailed at halftime 19 to 18. Keeping possession of the ball for the last minute of play, the Wolverines edged out a slim but suf- ficient 38 to 37 victory. Thus Sheffield gained the right to meet Penn Township, the southern winner, for the District 9 championship. The Penn Township quintet won the 1948-49 District 9 crown. With both teams apparently very well matched a close fast game was expected. And as was expected the fray was a nip and tuck battle from beginning to end. The fourth period meant defeat for Sheffield, with their poor foul-shooting, giving Penn their 42 to 41 victory. 1950 WOLVERINE GBIDIRON RECORD Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield Sheffield Games Away Younszsvi l le R1 dgwav St Ma rvs Smethport They Port Allegany St Bernard ' Kane Coach Ralph San to 225.6-A We . .

The first few days the boys walked around town stiff in the legs, arms, and other muscles. lt was a tough grind. One thing that could be seen on the grid- iron was cooperation, harmony and spirit. After practice, Captain Young led everyone up and down cemetery hill a few times. Later, it could be noticed that this was conditioning the team to a great degree. Everyone had more driving power than before. It also helped the team get into condition faster. After running the hill two to three times a day for a week, the boys found it much easier. This proved that the muscles were being developed. As the days went by, the team seemed to be more tense, because the first game was close at hand. Of course, everyone knew why. The Youngsville Eagles, our chief rivals, had not beaten the Wolverines since 1045. Then, after the first game, the players got the idea of how to play football. If you remember, they found out at Youngsville how it was to be behind and how it was to win. The game seemed to have given the players the will to win under any circumstances. An dher great game was that with the Kane Wolves. The Wolverines held a supposedly superior team scoreless and forged ahead to two touchdowns. The team went through the season in fine colors and they would like to congratulate and thank the coach for what he accomplished this year and the way he stood with them. The seniors sincerely hope the Wol- verines will have another good season next year.
