Rabbits Win Tournament Game The-1966-67 Basketball Team had a very success- ful season. Their won-loss record showed 14 and 4. The Rabbits broke their own school record by scoring 106 points against Echo. Another high light of the season was the Varsity-Faculty game. The faculty, playing with the help of some of their for- mer colleagues were still shown that the Varsity team had what it takes to beat them. The Rabbits won their first District Ten Basket- ball tournament game in 16 years by defeating Gib- bon. The Rabbits did not come out as well in their second game of the tournaments. The New Ulm Eagles were more aggressive and had more height than the Rabbits. They won over the Rabbits by a score of 75-54. Fenger, top rebounder, reaches for another two. 14

Football Co-captains S. Reese, D. Schumacher, Coach Davis. Franklin Deciding Game Wabasso High School football team enjoyed their greatest season in 1966 ending up with a 7 won and 1 loss record, perhaps the greatest won-loss record in the history of the school. The Wocohami Conference Champions had a squad that comprised a great deal of spirit, de- termination and pride. The team members worked hard to accomplish a goal that was set be- fore the season started, that of becoming the Champions of the Wocohami Athletic Confer- ence. The coaching staff felt that the team could win the title and after defeating Franklin 50-13 everyone felt that we could go all the way. This game was a determining factor in the team's belief that they could win the title and that no one was going to beat them after this point. They became believers and went on to win the remaining four games and the trophy.
