With Ron Woods, the only returning starter from the '63 quintet, along with letter winner Ron Maleta, the cage season opened at Redstone. Many new faces, at1empting to gain status as regulars, made their way to the hardwood. After losing their opener in overtime to a tough St. John's team, the roundballers won their next seven exhibition games. Carrying a 30 point average through December, Ron Woods led the attack. January's icy blasts were not nearly as cold as the cold– shooting Hawks. The basketeers lost the league opener to Fairchance-Georges. Next time out, the Hawks came from way back late in the game to down South Union. Successive losses to North Union, Albert Gallatin, and Brownsville ebbed the local's record to 1-4. In February, as the second round of play evolved, two quick victories against the Runners and the Blue Devils raised the hopes of loyal followers. Spirits rose in quest for more victories. Exerting tremendous effort, North Union Rams, Section 10 leader, defeated the home- team in the last thirty seconds of play. Striving to stay ahead of Redstone league wise, the Colonials fought off the determined Hawks. With one game remaining, R.H.S. season record stood at 10-10. Brownies and Hawks viewed each other with mixed emotions. A five-hundred season for the Redstone hoopsters and a trip to the Field House for the Brashear cagers was at stake. Before an overflow crowd at the Front Street Gym, the two teams played a spine-tingling, breathtaking game. Saving their best game for last, the Hawks downed the Brownies closing the season in a blaze of glory. 98 Woods, noted jumpar, stops, goes up end in for buket againll North Union.
