ROUND
ROBIN BASKETBALL
Do
you know what a round-robin is? No, its got
nothing to do with bird life. Glenridge had
a round-robin tournament three weeks ago. It
was a series of basketball games between different
homerooms. Coach Mosher was in charge.
On
the first night, each homeroom played some other
homeroom, 7th grades against 8th grades. The
regular basketball boys could not participate.
(They are too good!)
The
teams playing in the quarter finals were 7-2,
7-3, 7-5, 7-7, and 7-8; 8-6, 8-5 and 8-3.
In
the semifinals, 7-3 beat 7-5 by the score of
6 to 5. Only one point win! Again by a one point
win 8-6 nosed out 8-5 by a score of 9 to 8.
Congratulations to the grade champions.
In
the finals, 8-6 triumphed over 7-3, 26 to 14.
High
scorers through the games were: 8-6, Claude
Deaton, Bob Mier, Chip Emerson; 7-3, Joe Martin,
Clark Lambert, Vic Vermillion; 7-5, Rusty Doolittle;
and 8-6, Wayne Duncan.
People
planning for the future--those are the physical
education classes pulling roots to make room
for Glenridge's future football field, track
field, basketball courts, and maybe, a softball
field.
Though
some complained of sunburned backs and aching
muscles, they realized that anything worth having
is worth working for. A word to the wise...don't
get in the way when Coach Mosher or Mrs. Striefer
blow the whistles to come in. Everybody makes
a made dash for the new showers. Um! Such luxury!

Robert
E. Lee Junior High School eeked out a victory
over the Glenridge five Saturday night, February
17th. The final score was 44-40. It was said by
many to be the most exciting game of the year.
The Glenridge bleachers were filled to the brim
with enthusiastic rooters.
The
outstanding players were Mike Mosher for Glenridge
and Danny Rivenbark for Lee. Mike proved his ability
to handle for ball by dumping in 21 of our 40
points. He got 7 field goals and 7 free throws.
Bill Blackburn was next in scoring with 7, and
Bob Sutphen tossed in 6.
 Rivenbark
made 15 points with 6 field goals and 3 free throws.
Stuart Hall popped in 12, and Gene Kendall got
10.
It
was Hall who, during the last period, was fouled
and tossed in 1 free throw to tie the game up,
and his next one put them ahead by one point.
The
score by periods was: 2nd period, Glenridge 6,
Lee 4; 2nd period; lee 10, Glenridge 11; 3rd period;
Glenridge 10, Lee 14; 4th period, Glenridge 6,
Lee 13, for a total score of 44-40.
The
boys who are on the team and who contributed to
this game and other games deserve much credit
for their skillful playing and sportsmanlike conduct.
Even though we lost, we know we lost fairly and
took it like good sports! We hope this will be
true in all the other games that any team plays
for us. |
