These factors provided the Cats with a respectable eight win, six loss slate for league play. The team practiced in earnest for two weeks prior to their opening game with perennially tough Linden McKinley of the City League. During many of these sessions the cry of You donkies, put the ball in the hoop! could be heard echoing through the hallowed halls of W. H. S, November 24, 1965 came and went and enough said about the opening game with Lin- den. On December 3, the Cats journeyed to Mifflin for the first Mid-Eight game of the new season. The Westerville team proceeded to down the Cowpunchers 44 to 38. Senior captain, Jim Scarfpin, led all scorers with seventeen points. Gary Limbach, junior forward, added ten more. The following week the Cats were host to Gahanna Lincoln in another league battle. The Wildcats came up with a big twenty-two point second quarter to put the Lions down by a 60 to 56 count. Junior Craig Hall had the hot hand, bagging nineteen points to lead all scor- ers. The next night the team journeyed to Lon- don where they absorbed a disheartening 78 to 49 beating. Hall led Westerville scorers with ten points. The week of December 17 to 24 the Cats played two home games. It was a joyous week- end for Westerville round ball fans. On Friday night, the Wildcats trounced Groveport 56 to 44, with Hall leading the way with sixteen fol- lowed by Rick Hitt with fourteen. On Wednesday, the Cats pulled an upset by beating Grove City 64 to 57. Down by four points going into the final quarter, the Cats held the Greyhounds to ten points while burn- ing the nets for twenty-one of their own. Jim Scarfpin ])oured in twen ty points and Craig Hall added nineteen more. However, it was a tremendous team efTort that brought the vic- tory. This game was one of the highlights of the season. These two victories raised the Cats ' league record to 4 and 1. Things looked bright but the worse was to come. After losing two games, to Pleasant View and Linden again, (Holiday tournaments) the team got back to league play on Januai7 7, 1966 when they traveled to Marysville for a meeting with the Monarchs. The Cats fought hard, but went down to a 63 to 51 defeat. Craig Hall and Sen- ior guard, Dan Keating led the team with four- teen and thirteen points respectively. The following night the Cats played host to league-leading Hilliard. Our team was game and never quit, but Hilliard had too much and handed Westerville a 75 to 62 loss. Senior John Barr led the Wildcats with fourteen points. 168
