Green Trips Up Title Bound Blair The WJ basketball team, defeated only three times in twenty games, romped to a second place finish in Montgomery County class AA rankings and a seventh place among the Washington Area's top ten. The team had little trouble in overpowering other County teams, they beat Richard Montgomery, Northwood, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase twice each, ending the season with a fitting win over our B-CC rivals. Coach Alan SWick's team also avenged an early loss to Wheaton in the second game with the knights, 74-72. In the first Blair game, at home, the Blazers left the court with a 59-51 victory, but when the Spartans invaded Silver Spring, they easily de- feated the defending state champs, 74-61, a climax for our best basketball season.
