MONARCHS CLOSE
THEIR SEASON
WITH TWO WINS
Trip Delaware AZ to 33,
Mechanicsburg 43 to 20,
In Games Thursday, Friday


MarySville high school basket
ballers closed their regular sea-
son in a blaze of glory, last week,
defeating Delaware high AZ to 33
and Mechanicsburg, 43 to 20. Both
games were played on the oppon-
entS' courts.
Marysville Reserves lost to Del
aware, 80 to 81, but won from Me-
chanicSburg, 26 to II.
The Delaware game was one
which provided plenty of excite
ment for the fans, which included
large delegation of home folks
who followed the team.
The Monarchs played bang-up
ball throughout, with the except
ion of the second period, when they
scored but one basket. The rest
of the way, the game was all Ma
rysville's, with the Senators put
ting up enough opposition to make
it interesting.
Scoring Against Delaware
During the first period MaryS-
vile racked up II points to eight
for Delaware.
The Monarchs' only points the
in the second period came on a
basket by Robinson about midway
through the quarter. Delaware,
| busy as the proverbial beavers in
this Stanza, netted 10 points and
left the floor at half time on the
long end of an 18 to 13 score.
Tired of such monkey-busineSS,
the Monarchs came back strong in
the third canto with is points.
Robinson High Scorer
Robinson finished the evening as
high scorer with Is points, while
Diehl collected 13. Loader was
! high scorer for Delaware with
eight points.
In the preliminary, Marysville
Reserves trailed by slight margin
most the way, but were never "out
of the game" until the closing
seconds, and were in front for a
short time on several occasions.
Delaware was ahead 8 to z at the
end of the first quarter, is to Ia
at the half, and % to II in the
third period. Billy Wall was top
scorer for Marysville with eight
points, while Ruffner had 10 for
the Senators.
! Mechanicsburg Game
The game at Mechanicsburg was
much less a walk-away for MaryS-
! vile than the one which the Mon
archs won here earlier in the sea-
son. Two factors partially account
ed for this, however; the Burg
floor is much smaller than the one
here, and the MarySville first
team played much less than they
did here.
In fact, the Varsity was in only
about long enough to build up an
18 to five lead at the end of the
first quarter, and subs finished
cut most of the remaining three
| periods.
Score at the end Of the first
half was 25 to s in favor of Ma
rysville, and 81 to 16 at the end
/. of the third quarter. High scorer
for the MonarchS was Nanny Rog-
ers, who exhibited some nice bas-
ketball playing while collecting
II points. DoZer led for the Indians
with 7 tallies.
Marysville Reserves jumped to
an early lead and were ahead 8
! to 2 as the first quarter ended. BY
the end of the first half, they
were in front 10 to 7, but increas-
ed the lead 16 to 9 in the third
period and outscored the Indians
/! 10 to 8 the final period. Jerry
KingSmore scored.9 points for Ma
rysville, while Keeler and Rutar
each got four for Mechanicsburg.
