QSecond rowl Forrest Resor, Norman Hitenour, Coach Everett Paschen, Marion Baker, Paul Howe, Richard Miller The Spencerville Raiders basketball team enjoyed an exceptionally good season this year, winning 17 out of 18 scheduled games during the regular season. They were beaten in theCounty Tourney finals by Garrett and lost only one game between County and Sectional time. Our first game of the County was won from Ashley in a fairly easy game, 40-18. The second game was a thriller with Waterloo trailing by 2 or 5 points most of the game, and then losing by 1 point at the final gun, 26-25. In the final game Garrett won the County crown from the Spencerville five witha score of 29-51 in a thriller in which the Raid- ers led all the way until the final half minute. The starting five were: Hook and Lake at the two forward spots, Akey at center, Kimes and Sheefel at the guard positions. This team, with the help of very strong reserves, won the Sectional Crown from Garrett, then, going to the Reg1onal,were beaten by a very good South Side team. The Raiders won 14 straight games at the beginning of the season, improving with every game, beforebeing beaten at the County Tournament. This team had more height than usual with Glen Akey, 6'4n, control- ling both rebound boards. ThB steady sniping of the guards was always effective with the two forwards contributing when the guards were miss- ing. The whole team, as a reward for bringing home the first Sectional Crown in the school's history,was awarded with State tickets to see the State Championship played. 55
