Our varsity basketball team, coached by. Mr. Ken Kline, compiled a very impressive 22-6 record for the year. The "Tide", the only East Penn League school remaining in the final playoff for District XI, Class A champion, became runner-up after losing to West Hazleton. Pottsville had the best over-all season record of any team in the East Penn League, and this year's team won more games in one season that any other Pottsville High basketball team. Most noteworthy among the various tilts were those against Palmerton and Catasauqua for District XI honors.

   Jim Berrang, the "Tide's" leading scorer. became the second Pottsville High player to score over 1,000 career points. He was also first in defensive rebounds. Four of the five starters of this year's team were among the top thirty in the East Penn League.

   The important job of manager, which is too often forgotten in the minds of the spectators, was under taken by Larry Schiff for four years.

   Our J.V. team, coached by Mr. Keating, had a final record of 11-11. With their good attitude and hard work, the Junior Varsity won nine out of their last thirteen games of the season. With this promising young team coming up, Mr. Kline can surely look forward to many rewarding seasons in years to coming.
