Czar. ff C4,,..,,1,., Winning a thriller from the Platte Black Panthers in the first game, the Webster boys rode over two more opponents to give them the 1946 State nBn Championship, the first in the history of the school. With but 5 seconds of the game left, Lefty Engebritson made the winning shot. Although this was but the first win in the tournament for the nCatsu, it was the most thrilling and most crucial game. Other State Tournament victories for the squad were over Thomas and Hurley. The Webster squad won their birth to the State Class nBn Tournament by winning the Dist- rict and Regional Tournaments. In the Regional finals, the Webster Cagers, behind at the half, beat a stubborn Sisseton team 44-55. The Bearcats defeated Bradley in the first game. In the District Tournament, the nCatsn played one of their best games by defeat- ing Andover 61-27. Winning this tour- nament earned the Websterians the right to play in the Regional. The Bearcats defeated Langford, Britton, and Groton.Webster, defeated only once in Conference play, won the Conference Tournament also and captured the North- east Conference Title for the third successive year. During the season the Bearcats also registered wins over such large and strong schools as Brookings,lMadison, T and Watertown.
