Ray Gurtner hits for the basket. George Fletcher takes a shot--he made it. THE FIGHTING REBELS The 1956-57 Basketball Team, under the di- rection of Coach jim Blake, started the season lacking in experience but they soon developed into a well-organized team. As the season progressed the team improved and the games became more exciting. Our first win was against Graham by one point. Ray Gurtner hit a free throw after the bell to put The Rebels in the win. Another exciting game was the one against Northern during the District 3 Tournament, played in our gym. Northern was ahead most of BILL ABERNATHY CARL ATKINS the game but The Rebels ended with a score of 56-59-fighting to the last bell. During the last regular season game with Northern, Ray Gurtner received a trophy as the most valuable player of the year. This trophy was presented by The South Patterson Develop- ment Association which plans to make this an annual presentation. Danny Thomas and Edward Carpenter played as forwardsg Larry Ferrell and Charles Collins, guardsg and Ray Gurtner was center. EDWARD CARPENTER CHARLES COLLINS I 1 Q
