Starting out cool, but ending up hot, the Warriors lost 4 of their first 6 games and then finished the season by winning 13 of their last 18. It was only the Lord's help that enabled the team to take second in both the P.S.L. and the tournament and break 3 scoring records, including the team season scoring record set iust last season. The team poured in 1255 points in 24 games for a 52 point average. After their poor start, the Warriors began to roll, and in the next game, set a new Academy scoring record for a single game,.as they shel- lacked Luther South with a 74 point total. In the following game, we beat defending cham- pion Harvard as Leigh Beveridge dumped in 23 points for the season's highest total. Two non-conference wins were chalked up over Glenwood and Elgin Academy before we played our next conference game. We conquered Luther in a close game and then slaughtered Todd. The next game against North Park was the most exciting of the season. By the end of the third period. we were behind by T3 points, but with one of those fan-wilting finishes, the team surged to within 'I point of the opposition, and then Leigh Beveridge sank a last second shot that gave us the victory. Bob Adolph, who led the team scoring with 272 points, goes up for a one hand shot in the championship game of the tournament against Luther. Bob Adolph Leigh Beveridge Tom Buis VU?
