VARSITY COACH, George Hromanik, admires the new warm-ups with Larry Robinson and Pat Marron. 110 What a Section! l'Vith four returning lettermen the basketball team began its first season of competition in Section 8. A1- though this division is one of the roughest in the state, our team did remarkably well. The scores are very mis- leading however, because many of our boys were forced to sit on the bench as a result of injuries. Despite this, the season was marked by many close, exciting gamesg the most memorable was our double overtime win against Beaver. Even though our hoopsters compiled a final record of 7 wins and 14 losses, many experienced teams in the league were made aware of our boys' fine ability and our school's unparalled spirit, winning or losing. These qualities were a subject of much conver- sation around the circuit and we left those trademarks wherever we traveled. The rewards we received from this season can't be measured in wins and losses but in experience gained, ability unchained, and memories claimed. Our material award for the season came in the form of the sportsman- ship trophy which we won for the second consecutive year. Much of the credit for this trophy goes to Mr. Hromanik for his outstanding coaching and to our boys who played clean, hard basketball. YVe look forward to next season with great hopes in an even more competi- tive league.
