Three years are set before usg Together as one we shall be victorious.

Sumner wrestlers traveled to State for the first time this year and all three seniors placed in the 32 school com- petition at State. Eddie Gilmore and Virgil Smith placed fifth and Melvin Lee, seventh, in the 4 A competition. For a very successful season the team compiled a 6-2 record. Although the team has completed a good season both Coach Carter and Coach Mason expect an even finer season next year. SUMNER SCOREBOARD 36-21 Rosedale 6-51 S.M.

For the Sumner Spartans basketball team, this was the season of upsets. With the players Sumner had, all with such great in- dividual ability to play, the lack of varsity experience Was the problem. Individual ability was shown throughout the season by strong rebounding and heavy scoring of Michael Bailey, smooth ball handling and clutch shooting from Rodney Tole- free and tough defense and fearless play from William Carter. Record breaking shooting by Kevin Fouse, tough defense and high percentage shooting came from Bert Hendricks.

Despite the 1 l-10 season of the Spartans good things will benefit from it. The '73 season was ajunior-heavy team which leads to a prediction for the future.

Thir- teen members went to Regionals at Bonner Springs and eight track members qualified to go to Wichita State in May. Sumner had three of the best timed events in the State of Kansas: the 880 re- lay, 440 relay, and mile relay. Virgil Smith 5 set a record in the long jump at Central Missouri State University Meet. Coach Carter, proud of the '72-,73 teams, said he looks forward to a successful season next year.

Preparing to warm up for the game are players Thomas Sherrill, John Harris, Vernon Birmingham, and Kevin Sullivan. A lack of pitching depth hurt the Spart- ans this season. It is very hard to play a twenty game schedule with only two pit- chers. However, congratulations are in order for Doug McClain and Maurice Harbin for keeping the Spartans respectable. The hitting was led by two seniors, Jesse Graves and Curtis McClain. A late comer, Dewayne Williams also helped to give the Spartans batting power. Dewayne will be back next year, as will Maurice Harbin, to lead the Spartans to a successful season.
