BASKETBALLX As it opened the season with four straight victories, Simsbury High maintained its winning status of previous years. How- ever, the next three contests proved disastrous when Sufield, Bloomfield, and Ellsworth beat us in closely contested games. After these defeats we again climbed towards the top with six consecutive victories. We were stopped once more as Portland edged us in an exciting overtime period. By stopping Suffield 54 to 47, the Blue and Gold quali- field for the Class C tourna- ment. Bloomfield, the only team to beat us twice, handed us our fifth defeat of the season. This was followed by another loss at the hands of a strong Thomas- ton array. With a successful season be- hind them, Simsbury High's hoopsters hope to give a credit- able performance in the tourna- ment. ' In , J A J If i VARSITY CHEERLEADERS J. V.

J . .x - .' ai.: IZISQ Bolstered by six members of the present Senior Class, Simsbury High completed one of its most successful seasons in the local history of the sport. Starting our season with numerous practice games against higher class schools, we ran up an impressive string of victories. We began the regular season with an extra-inning game against La Sallete. lt took a belated rally to rack up our first victory 7-2. The supposedly strong Farmington array gave us little opposition, as we rolled up an 'li-'I victory. The leading hitters were Pete Avery with four hits and John Dennis and Jim Temperilli with three apiece. Our next opponent proved a little tougher with Skip Messenger and Jim Temperilli driving in the deciding runs of a 3-'I victory over Newington. In our next outing Beans Kane twirled a decisive one hitter, as we drubbed Glastonbury 'l5-'l. Berlin gave us our first real scare as we eked out a last inning 8-4 victory. Behind Ray Fraser's brilliant shutout over Canton, Simsbury racked up its sixth straight victory 'l-O. Walt Mitchell scored the only run. Suffield proved an easy victim as the booming bats of the Blue and Gold slashed out a 16-'I victory. John Bogus' sparkling defensive work at shortstop saved the day as his relay from left field stymied a potential Bloom- field rally, in our 3-2 win. We added more gray hairs to Coach Henebry's head as we lucked out a 5-4 decision over East Hampton. Walt Mitchell's clutch pitching preserved a lead established when Skip Messenger scored the winning run on an infield grounder by Lea Hutchinson, after the tying run had been balked in. -HMM Boone ..4-,jx . 2 , - 5, w 1.
