Winter
Park opened a fine season with a decisive 69-33 romping of Titusville.
Bill DeGarmo was high-pointman for the Cats with 23. The next win was
a hard-fought victory over the class AA Boone Braves 61-54. Bear Cayll
tossed in 22 to lea Winter Park. Bishop Moore then fell 64-57 and Titusville
65-35; Mike Mosher led the way with a combined 29 points for the two games.
In the Second Annual Elks Tangerine Bowl
Basketball Tournament, Winter Park lost to Bishop Moore 45-39. Two of
the Cat regulars were ill and they experienced a cold night.
The Wildcats then went on a seven game victory
skein including an 84-32 thrashing of Florida Military School. Once again
Cayll was high man with 23. The streak was stopped in a revenging defeat
by Boone's Larry Tillis who sunk a set shot with seven seconds left to
clinch a victory for the Braves.
In the next three games Baroine Cayll went
on a scoring spree that netted him 83 points in one week. He tallied 25
in the Wildcat's win over Cocoa, broke the school record with 50 in a
84-64 romp over Sanford, and chipped in 18 more the next night when Wildwood
edged the Cats 56-53.
Apopka downed Winter Park 54-46 but Flash
Gordon's Spacemen then flew to an easy 73-38 smear of Leesburg with newcomer
Charlie Pence scoring seven points in his first game as a Wildcat.
Lakeview edged Winter Park in the O.B.C.
Tournament, 54-52. Ronnie Cayll, Bill DeGarmo, and Mike Mosher made All-O.B.C.
In the Group Tournament Winter Park won the runner-up trophy after being
nipped by Wildwood 50-48.
The Wildcats closed out the season with
a good 18-6 record. Congratulations to Coach Gordon, and his fine team
for such an excellent season.
