Var ity Ba ketball The l95l-52 basketball season was entered into with a squad of small and inexperienced boys with no returning lettermen and no one over the 6 foot mark Despite these handicaps Stillman Valley finished in the Route 72 Conference with a 5-9 won-lost record for fifth place in the conference. They started with a 62-34 defeat from Kirkland and a 58-42 loss to a highly rated Mr. Morris quintet. The Cardinals came back for their first conference game with a win from Ashton 36-28. After winning from Oregon 50-48 in a closely fought game, the team dropped four conference games in a row. ln the first game of the Route 72 Tournament, in one of the best games of the year, Monroe nipped the Cardinals with a long desperation shot from the middle of the floor to win by a score of 62-61. Later Stillman reached the semifinals of the Monroe Center District Tournament by defeating Durand 49-39, only to end the season at the hands of the Monroe Panthers, 64-41.
