Mason R Coxe QAbsent from this picture is Allen Davis J The 1949 50 basketball season found Wyoming High School sporting a new but able bodied coach 1n Mr Walter Williams plus n experienced team to carry on the court wars Our team was not the biggest in the valley but its Splrlt was tops and the fellows never quxt until the last whistle was blown The team played creditable ball all season vlctorles 1n league competition The team represented a smooth working comblnatxon with a well balanced offense and defense and was a very scrappy outfit The senior class was well represented w1th Danny Huntz and Charles Zezza playing their third year varsity ball. The varslty was composed of Arty Brittain, a deadly shot from the corner, Captain Charles Zezza a very terrific shot and the playmaker of the team, Allen Davis a possessor of a good left hand hook shot at forward Ray Motichka, a Junior pwotmen with a deadly one hand shot was at center Guard positions were held down by Danny Huntz, who was a terror getting rebounds and on offense with his spectacular shots and Andy Olesky a good set shot artist, as well as on defense Elmer Goode also a senior alternated at guard Ralph Zezza brother of Charles, shows the same remarkable promise with the one hand shot as his brother The work of the rest of the team was very commendable also this year FIRST HALF TOTALS Wyomlng Opponents Wilkes Barre Townshlp Swoyerville St John s Pringle West Wyoming West Wyoming Shxckshinny Forty Fort Pittston Exeter Luzerne Plains West Pittston Edwardsville I 1 W ,iz 1 Q, K ,D fw , tn . f an 1 s E 5 . as Q m wi N .: if' 4 0 4 .QV I .fu ui xr. n', 4 Viv xg, H S he y v il f U! pr 4: v 1 I Y X r ,!
