St. Marys High School went as far as the Quarterfinal in the State Tournament only to be eliminated by the Flint School for the Deaf 32-31. and now the rangy Saginaw quintet. St. Peter and Paul, administered another heartbreaking 37-35 quartefinal defeat. The game was a basket for basket struggle, but the Saginaw lads got the best of the lfaglets and went on to win the game. lt was one of those nights where foul shots would have clinched the game. St. Mary scored 15 long shots in comparison to St. l'ete's 14, but missed 9 of those indispensable free throws. Thus, those unpredictable Eaglets of 1946 hung up their uniforms bearing in mind a season ot 12 victories and 5 deteatsg a season that produced 2 championships. District and Regional.
