5 77Zd44edZ 6 The B team got off to a good start by winning their first seven games. The first win was against Burroughs by a score of 47-35. Although the next game with Lone Pine was cancelled by them, in weekday games the B's played Randsburg twice and won both of them: 48-37 and 49-32. To finish December play, lVlojave's B's came to Trona to meet a 39-28 defeat. The B team brought glory to Trona High by taking the Lone Pine Tournament hands down. They played Bishop in the first game and won 63-40. The second game played the following day with Burroughs, was closer, but Trona was still the out- standing team. Score: 49-37. League play began with Victor Valley. Although nip and tuck all the way, the Tornadoes pulled ahead in the last few minutes to win, 40-36. The B's dropped off at Owens Valley to lose their first game of the season against an unclassified team, 57-35. Apparently they were getting overconfident and did not play their usual game of ball. The Jan. 22 game at Lone Pine was close all the way and was a very exciting game. Lone Pine edged the team out in the last seconds to win, 48-46. Bishop came to Trona the next day, and the Tornadoes got back into the winning column by dropping Bishop, 44-25. The next weekend Mojave came to Trona to lose 55-24, but the following day Burroughs beat the B's in a very close and thrilling game. Final score: 47-42. The next weekend Victor Valley trek- ked to Trona to lose 25-33, only to find the B's losing a 48-32 decision in Barstow the following afternoon. Owens Valley's unclassified team came to Trona, refused to tangle with the A s, and then were rudely upset by a deter- mined bunch of B's, 38-36. In closing, the B's beat Mojave on their home court in a very decisive win, 53-29, to end a highly successful season. This outstanding B team might have won the league championship if the season had been completed. Kneeling, left to right: Al Adams, Gary Casey, Frank Picon.
