Baagefgaff' Starting almost from scratch after losing seven seniors from last year's class B runners up, Coach Horton brought his Blue Devil cagers to a Husker Conference Championship. It was the first championship won by the west division and it brought sweet revenge to Wayne High. In two attempts in football and one in basketball Wayne had suffered defeat at the hands of the Oakland Vikings. This time, however, Coach Horton's boys were not to be denied and displayed a sterling performance of team play to win 57-52. ln this game David Meyer and Dwayne Atkins led the Wayne scoring with 19 and 19 markers respectively. Don Skeahan, Iim Henegar, Bill Palmer, Kennard Manske and Gordon Zapp did a superb job to help gain the victory. Coach Horton had no regular starting five during the season, but the boys mentioned above plus Mark Tietsort and lim Atkins saw the most action. Meyer led the team in scoring with 225, D. Atkins had 131, Skeahan lOO, Henegar 64, Iensen 64, Manske 57, Palmer 44, Zapp 39, M. Tietsort 12, I. Atkins 6, Price 5, Iohnson 4, Korff 2. D. Atkins, Skeahan, Meyer, and Iensen are the only seniors lost from next year's squad, so a good year can be expected.
