R e s e r 11 e COACH TWEEDLIE The Union High Reserve 'lleam under Coach Fred Tweedlie U produced a winning season of which we are all proud. Among the fine looking prospects are Tiffie Cox. Kenny Berry, Bill Bosworth and Don Clutter. Cox was the leading scorer while he was playing with the reserves. But Berry and Bosworth took over the scoring honors after Cox was moved to the Varsity. Stanley Gongola did a fine job i11 filling in for Cox. These Reserves have shown fine team play, great spirit, tre- mendous hustle and an overwhelming desire to win. Of course we vannot let the season pass without mentioning our Freshmen. This year Coach Higgins and his mighty mites turned in a T-T record playing many opponents much bigger than they. The l reslnnen have also displayed a fighting spirit and plenty of hustle. l l COACH IIICCINS

AA Basketball crown for 1958-59. This year's team was composed of five stout and dependable starters in Bob Butts, Chuck Porter, Chuck Hicks fCaptainl, ,lerry Padlow, and Rudy Horvat. These five were backed up by such able-bodied performers as George Angalich and Fred Gongola. Also other reliable substitutes were Larry Ebberts, Ron Yanik, Dave Vargo, Tiffie Cox, and Kieth Tribett. The scoring and rebounding was very well divided among the starters. Bob Butts led both departments with an average of 15.5 points per game. Close behind in the scoring column was Chuck Porter with 13.5 points per contest. Butts gathered in an average of 13 rebounds per game with Hicks right behind with an average of 12. Porter had the best percentage from the floor with 7107? and Horvat led the defensive department by blocking A1 shots per game. Padlow had the best outside shooting percentage with -l-UQ?-, mainly because of his deadly set shot. We cannot end without praising Coach Eaton who did a fine job in coaching the boys and in keeping up their hustle, teamwork, and growing desire to win 91 Union H 57 Bridgeport 56 Union , 82 Moundsville U ' 717 Union 62 Triadelphia ' Q0 Union 71.
