Perfect Record

Last Friday night the Kenne-
wick Lions defeated River View
high schools hoop quintet by a
score of Is to IL. Wesley Perkins
was high scorer for the winners,
tossing eight points from the pi-
vot position. The Lions were
somewhat handicapped by the size

View by one point in very close
games.
This was Kennewick's twelfth
straight win with no losses as yet
this season.
The lineups were as follows:
Kennewick- f, Kauth f,
Perkinsc, Liebel g, Blackman g.
River View-Millsf, Montague +,
Bennett c, Watson 6, Kempe g.
Substitutes: Kennewick- Green,
Doyle, Howard, Sitter, c. Smith,
Adams, Giles. River View Smith.
The Kennewick B squad de-
feated the River View B squad in
a fast preliminary game by the
score 1876. Both games were ref
creed by Don T. Coates.
Saturday night, January IS, the
Kennewick A squad ran their
string of victories to Is, by de-
feating taller Hermiston quintet
1929. Kennewick took an early
lead and held it throughout the
game, with Hermiston fighting
hard to cut down the lead. Ken
newick's right forward, Milton
Dahlman, was high scorer for
the winners, throwing in seven
/ baskets for fourteen shots at
tempted. The Kennewick guards
also did exceptionally well, ac-
counting for IA of the AZ points
scored.
The lineup were as follows:
Kennewick-Kauth f, Dahlman +,
Perkins c, Liebel 6, Blackman 6.
Hermiston- Rodger +, Harken-
ritter f, Belt c, Wilcox 6, Johnson 6.
Substitutes: Kennewick- Green,
Doyle, Howard, Sitter, c. Smith,
Adams, Giles, Wyatt. Hermiston-
Null, Conner, Solionova, Pierson,
Oxford. Referees: Harshman, and
Ludwig.
The average age of the Kenne-
wick players mentioned is a little
below Is years, which is one Of
the lowest averages of any basket
ball team in this school for many
years. The age of last years
team was a little over a 17-year
average.
Kennewick's next game is with
Toppenish at Toppenish January
81. The Lions expect very tough
] game with the Wildcats. Top
