probably make first team spots are
Velosky, Conner, Zaleha, and Hick-
man, all of whom saw some service
last year. One can always count on
Colley's teams being up there in
the thick of the fight.
HARRIETTSVILLE figures to be
reasonably strong this year with
Smithberger and Baker returning
from last seasons team. Rounding
out the squad will be Ayers, Oscar
Singer, Love, Schafer, and Forshey.
The county champs look like the
team to beat from here.
SUMMERFIELD was completely
riddled by graduation, losing all of
the first five Carrying on will be
Hanes, Havener, Cutler, Watson and
Osborne, with these boys claiming
the championship already. Time will
tell, although they should fight it
out with Belle Valley for second
position.
SARAHSVILLE could easily be the
surprise package in the league this
year, since not player on the first
| ten was graduated last year. Last
seasons first string is back, Han
nahs, j. Butler, Graham, Hopps and
Weston. Reserve strength consists
of Stottsberry, Church, Rich, Miley
and D. Butler. But with all this ap-
parent strength, it is doubtful il
Sarahsville can finish higher than
fourth in the league.
