Kaskctball Before I knew it, the football season had ended, and basketball practice was under way-with no lettermen back, and the squads made up of more or less inexperienced players. I though that maybe- maybe I would have a chance-so I lined up with rest of the fellows and shot a few baskets for Coach Paul Rickert. Ididn't think I did well at all, but I was chosen-at least to come to practice! I kinda wondered about that later, but I am tall, and it is good practice for a guard to have some one tall to practice on. But I didn't care if I were only a member of the second--second team: I enjoyed every second of it! Even if the scores don't show that we had a championship team as far as trophies are concerned, we still had a good team. We played good, clean ball all year long. For the records our team won four and lost six games in conference play: Dysart beat us in the county tournament in the first round 30 to 20: and for the sectional tournament Traer made a basket in the last second-and I mean last second!-and won the game 24-22. And yet ours was a successful season-please count down six scores, then down thirteen-don't you agree we had a good team? BASKETBALL Tama 28 ,,..,.. ,,....
