COACH WOODS teams have
won 81 games and lost 46 in his
five years at the helm, making
fine records in three of those
years and breaking even the
other two. This years team hit
955 points, second only to the
high scoring 1945 team which
set a new season high of 1852.
THE REDSKINS seven losses
don't seem so bad when you look
at it this way. Two losses were
to New Lex, a team that went to
the state semi-finals and lost only
one game during the regular sea-
son. Two were to New Concord,
a team that went to the district
tourney and lost only two games
during the regular season. One
loss was an early season defeat
by Philo at a time when they
were tied for the league lead.
One setback was on Glouster' S
floor, a loss which looked like an
upset at the time, but the Tom
cast were improving rapidly to-
ward the close of the season as
evidenced by their tourney play.
Their final and worst defeat was
at the hands of Woodsfields' best
team of all time, which advanced
to the regional tournament and
lost only two games during the
regular season.
CLOSE GAMES were character
teristic of all CaldWell's losses
during the regular season this
year, the closest being a two-point
(25-23) defeat at the hands of the
New Lex Panthers. The return
game was taken by New Lex 49,
20 only nine points ahead. New
Concord topped the Redskins by
three points (34-3D and by six
points (51-45). Philo ended on tor
by five points (33-28) and Glous-
ter spurted in the last quarter
to win by seven points (46-39)
The latter two losses were aVeng-
ed. Woodsfield's margin of vic
tory was 81 points making the
seven defeats by only a differ
ence of So points or less thar
eight points per game. You'll
look a long time to find closer
losses than those.
