then proceed to Elkhart for the regional and there they will meet the winner of the Plymouth sectional. Our Yellow Jackets have a rough road to cover by being in bottom bracket with Warsaw and Columbia City, but if they play as good ball as they did last Friday night they will stand a good chance of beating either one of these teams, but let’s not get the cart before the horse. First we will have to defeat Larwill. Larwill has managed to win only one game this season while losing fifteen. This season has been a good season I would say for our Yellow Jackets, maybe not by our record, but by the hard work put in by Mr. Hughes and all of the players to improve the team like they have. I think Coach Hughes and the entire team should be congratulated on their fine progress, and whether they win or lose in the tourney, we have a right to be downright proud of them.
