During the regular season a close race in the Saginaw Valley Parochial League kept every fan anxiously waiting for each game. St. Paul ended its play in the SVPL by finishing second. The tournaments were the highlight of the year for St. Paul. Improving steadily with each game the Blues won the Owosso District champ- ionship. The IMA Auditorium was the next floor on which the Blues were to do battle. After beating Flint Goodrich, the favorite, St. Paul established itself as the team to beat. This didn't happen as the Blue Wave won the regional trophy. The Quarter and Semi-final games were as thrilling as any fan would care to watch. Those two victories moved out own Blues into the State finals. A dream? Yes, a dream come true! Despite its excellent team work and hard play, St. Paul was finally de- feated by a strong Chassell team, 66-61. With the return of the team from Lansing came one of the biggest celebrations this area has ever known. The players were honored by the Mayor and City officials, and the heads of all of the city organizations. Hundreds came out to honor the team through a parade and public reception. Everyone knew and was proud of the St. Paul Blue Wave and its Coach. They 46 29 44 47 41 18 47 37 55
