Williams, winning the Southern Section championship. The var- sity had a fairly good record, winning 67 per cent of their games, while the B's fin- ished with more lossesthanwins.TheAand B teams were coached by Paul Lathrop. The varsity started off the season with a bang, winning a pre-league invitational tournament held at the University of Cali- fornia at Davis. The rest of the year they played a hot and cold brand of basketball, winning four out of six league games. Mike Papin and Ernest Burton were the high scorers for the team with 224 and 219 points, respectively. After the high school league was over the varsity was reorganized and entered a tournament for high school teams in Vallejo. The B team, which lacked considerably in scoring ability, finished with a rather poor record. They were a fast squad and had a good defense but they played an in- consistent type of basketball. The high scorer for the. team was Bernard Keller with 178 points. The C team had a good record this sea- son, losing only two games out of 16. ln many of the games the score at the half time would be nearly even. But due to the fact that every member of the team was a potential scorer they would build up a good score in the second half to come through with a victory. They lost one game to Armijo but still won the Southern Sec- tion championship. The most disappoint- ing game of the year was when they met Davis for the County playoff and were de- feated by one point, an exact duplicate of last year. Molina was high scorer for the team with 132 points.
