Close games were lost to Fort Edward and VARSITY SEASON RECORD St. Mary's as the league race began, and both Hudson Falls and Glens Falls defeated the Bull- W,H 'rf,,, Wg i,,,, dogs by wider margins. A one-point loss to the 49 41 Lake George? 50 43 fighting Tomahawks at Corinth seems, in retro 50 62 Ballston? 56 59g spect, to have been the deciding factor in elim- 63 59 Fort Edward 73 76 inating South High from eventual Sectional com- 43 49 St. Marys 46 51 Pemlon- 47 64 Hudson Falls 48 70 After winning its first Conference game from 83 73 Corinth 58 59 Whitehall by 24 points, a rash of last-minute 55 69 Glens Falls 56 79 fouls worked against the Bulldogs, as Granville 74 50 Whitehall 81 65 made five consecutive free throws to break a 65 70 Granville 88 50 65-65 tie and win, 70-65. ' non-league if overtime Consecutive wins against Whitehall and Fort Edward opened the second half of the season, and the Bulldogs took a six-point lead into the fourth quarter against St. Marys on the Warren Street court, but the Kerries exploded for 24 points in eight minutes to win, 51-46. To conclude the season, Conference runner-up Hudson Falls and champion Glens Falls repeated their earlier wins, although the Lennox-men made the Indians earn their victory the hard way. Old-time Sara- toga County League opponent Corinth lost by 10 points, and the final game saw South High blast the Granville team on its own court, 88-50. Next year's team will miss four talented Seniors, all of whom earned their Block S for basketball. Big Jim Prendergast scored on 4896 of his shots, and was a demon clearing the boards, while back-court operatives Ron Jarvis, Scott Gray, and Don Flewelling were used altemately as starters and in reserve. Coach Lennox will build next year's Conference contenders around a seasoned quartet of front-court artists, Wayne Jones and Hank Dwyer, and playmakers Pete Wood and Lou Luciano, all of whom will be playing their final year for South High. Leading the race for the fifth starting berth is another foursome of Varsity Reserves: Mondie Leombruno, Bill Elder, Gary Mattison, and Bill Alden. Because of the late-season surge of the Varsity team, and the large number of returning vet- erans, South High is looking forward to an outstanding season in 1960-61. nv Ur- W Wayne jones 1521 scores against Granville as jim Prendergast 13Oj gets set for A, .Q the rebound. 5 Hank Dwyer 1291, Lou Luciano 128j, and Pete Wood 1311 follow the play.
