Lnable to
fill
key positions vacated
by
grad–
uation. the youthful Hawks slumped through one
of the poorest seasons in recent Black and White
history. After losing their first three -starts, the
victory-hungry cagers bounced back with three con–
secutive wins. For this brief streak the " Redstone
Five" appeared to be on the way to better things;
but as the records indicate, this proved to be their
best effort.
A victory in January elated loyal fans but the
local quintet was not to \Vin again.
Although winless in tough Section 10, the
spirited Hawks made several determined bids to
win.
Costly
mistakes plus veteran competition made
their every e££ort futile. In their first meeting with
'S"orth Upion. they made a gallant attempt to hand
the league-leading champs a major setback.
With a tremendous display of school spirit, a
standing room only, enthusiastic band of followers
cheered the Hawks as they battled the league-lead·
ing Brownies
in
their final contest. An all out effort
and a burning desire to win were not enough. Red–
stone's early lead rapidly diminished, and the
out~
classed Hawks fell before the talented'
Brownsvill~
Five.
