L. crown with a 69-59 win over the Maysville Panthers on the visi- tor's floor. Since all victories over Maysville have that extra spark, the Tornadoes were mentally ready for a winning season. This was followed by a 71-45 victory over New Lexington on the home floor. Next was an easy 104-79 win over the Roseville Ramblers. This set the stage for the game of the year. On Fri- day, December 16, the Muskies of John Glenn came to the Tor- nado torn country. In a hard fought game, that West led most of the way, the Muskies pulled out a 51-49 decision over the Tornadoes. This was followed by eight wins, including an 84- 69 win over previously unbeaton Crooksville. With the record at 11-1, the Tornadoes packed up their ability and traveled to New Concord for a chance at revenge. The Tornadoes hit their cold- est night from the field hitting on 31070 of their shots. With their record now at 11-2, the Tornadoes ripped by Philo, Sheridan, and Tri-Valley before losing 77-66 to Crooksville on the rematch With a victory over Morgan the final regular season record stood at 15-3, which placed the cagers second in the M. V. L. behind New Concord. This was only the start of things as the Tornadoes went on to win their fourth District title in as many years.
