Yes, Wyoming won the Blackhawk Conference for the first time since it started. The boys played heads up ball most of the time. We think the team deserves a little praising and I am sure that the many backers- tand we had a lot this yearl will agree with us. Don't forget the coach--after all he did teach them the fundamentals of the game. In the first game of the year the Braves lost a tough game to Prince- ville on the latters court. The Indians went on the warpath and scalped LaFayette by the score of 36 to 21--the score doesn't show how completely the Braves com- manded the game. In a thrilling game held in Wyo- ming, we lost a thriller to the hot shots from Dunlap. Chilli walloped the Braves on the Chilli floor by the score of 29 to 6-- inability to rebound and hit on set shots caused the downfall of the Braves. The first conference game proved a thriller as the Braves overcame 9 point lead to defeat the Galva Wild- cats 30 to 25. When the Braves attempted to make it two in a row the tall boys from Walnut teamed together and defeated them by the score of 28 to 23. In the Princeville Tourney, Wyo- ming lost A tough game to the flashy Brimfield squad. In the consolation game held that night Wyoming got hot and trampled the Princeville boys in a wild game by the score of 40 to 31 The Braves continued on their way as they romped over a poor team from Bradford 59 to 18. What was supposed .to be a victory for the Wethersfield Geese turned out to be defeat for them 29 to 26. This was considered to be a championship game. , A sweet victory for the Braves at the expense of the Toulon Trojans-- 35 - 15. What turned out to be a rough and tumble game on the part of Prince- ville the Wyoming lads were defeated in the last seconds of play 22-20. The conference hopes of Wyoming dimmed when Galva took the measure of the Braves in a return game held in Galva. Score--39-25. In a game so exciting that the coach nearly had heart failure as well as many of the spectators Wyo- ming defeated Walnut in a season game, 24 to 20. Dunlap seemed to have a spell on Wyoming and they defeated our boys 28 to 21 on their own floor. Bradford put on a rally that almost knocked the Braves out of the Con- ference Championship hopes. The Panthers, playing on their own floor, fell two points short and lost 24 to 22. In a game that was to be one of the next two games that would decide the Conference Champs Wyoming and Wethersfield put on a show that was really worth seeing. Before a pack- ed house Wyoming beat Wethersfield in an overtime 29-27. The Braves had to go all out to defeat the Toulon Trojans to cinch the championship 32-16.
