TAe School HOAGLAND HIGH By Beverly Scherer

t r Center Wed-

Hoagland play-i ed in the Bluffton sectional basketball tournament this year for the first time. It was with some apprehension that toe Wildcats opened the tourney against Chester

nesday night. However they led all the way and finished the game with a 65-53 victory. —H.H.S.— Thursday the student body, plus the faculty, gave all their enthusiasm in a pep session to tell the team we were all backing them. A skit was enacted by Tom Bauermeister and Barb Oehler. Also a new cheerleader was introduced by the name of Bleep the Creep. Bleep is also well-known at Hoagland as Mr. Rothhaar, our English teacher. —H.H.B.— Friday night the Wildcats, trailing at the end of the third quarter by 10 points, staged a rousing comeback against Liberty Center. The final score of 66-60 was in Hoagland’s favor, and it gained them a place in the semi-finals of the secional. —H.H.S.— In the next game on Saturday, even though Hoagland was leading by the score of 47-41 at the start, of the fourth period, the Cats were unable to keep this lead. Petroleum i took the lead and won the game with a close 58-57 victory. —H.H.S.— Bluffton outscored the Ossian Bears in the first game of the semi-finals and went on to keep their sectional champ title with a final victory against Petroleum. —H.H.S.--The Wildcat team should be praised for their hard fighting and good sportsmanship. Also the cheerleaders and pep block deserve the same recognition for the sportj smanship and enthusiasm which they displayed. They entered the Bluffton sectional as strangers, but went on to show that they had not only a team to be proud of, but also a great cheering section. We all appreciate the friendly way we were accepted and the courtesies that were extended to us, being a new school in this section. -H.H.S.— MONMOUTH HIGH — By Jeanie Cook
