38 Seniors On Nine Teams In Local Tourney; Pleasant Mills To Be Hit Hardest In Graduation Losses Thirty-eight of the Adams county high school players who are certified for (sectional tourney play this week will complete their high school athletic careers this season. This total is slightly more than one-third of the certified list of 12 players which each school lists as eligible for tourney play. The Pleasant Mills Spartans will be riddled the worst by graduation, with seven of their 12 men on the sectional list members of this year’s senior class. Os the seven, four have been members of the Spartans' starting quintet a good portion of the season.
