The season resulted in 6 wins K4 conferencel and 'I6 losses U3 conferencel. The first two games of the season were dropped to Humboldt and White Bear. ln the thriller of the season, West St. Paul played host to Stillwater, losing in a double-overtime game. The Warriors lost to Anoka, giving Sibley their fourth loss be- fore going to the range to win over Gilbert and to bow out to Eveleth. The next two games were lost to Hastings and South St. Paul. Then in a great comeback, the Warriors came up with four straight wins, beating Ramsey, Humboldt, Columbia Heights, and White Bear. ln the last half of the season they won only one game, defeating a vic- Tho team at the half, in deep thought! tory-seeking Ramsey team. It was a tough season, but the West St. Paul Warriors fought hard all the way. ln the Sub-district playoffs, the Warriors pulled two hot games out of the fire. The first game was with Mahtomedi, 63-34, and the second from a tough St. Paul Park team, 4'l-39. This victory en- tered West St. Paul in the District 'I4 playoffs. The Warriors gained the title of Sub-district champs when they beat Farmington in a close champion- ship game, 57-54. The game gave the school its first athletic trophy. Although the Warriors lost to Stillwater in the first game of the District playoffs, their stirring finish gave their first season of state conference play a touch of glory. Now get this boys!
