Our Trojans got the coveted horseshoe by beating : Pierceton the night school was dis- | missed far Thanksgiving vacation. We overcame the Cubs by a slim margin of one point. This was Pierceton’s first defeat of the season and the worst because they lost the horseshoe. Our Trojans have been successful in beating all other countyteams. We do not play anymore county teams before the county basketball tournament so this means that we will be the team to have the silver horseshoe in the tourney.
