SKIBOSFIRST ROW: Darrell Humphrey, Rodney Sowder, John Kelley, Wallace Miller, Kenneth Kirkman.SECOND ROW: Coach Sparks, Russell Perry, Larry Smith, Joe Roberts, Jack Deckard, Manager,David DePhue.13||||■ftI 1Smithville High School is proud of the part it has played in this Hoosier hysteria,called basketball. Many times its teams have won the honor to be called champions;while men who have attained fame in Indiana basketball have paced its hardwood oroccupied the mentor’s bench.This year’s team is following in the footsteps of its illustrious brothers under theleadership of its capable coach, Glen (Red) Sparks. Coach Sparks led last year’s squadto a Tri-County victory and this year’s quintet to a runner-up status in the same tourney.Because of a leg injury suffered during ball practice, one of the senior star playersLeonard Chambers, was forced to discontinue all basketball playing the second semesterof this year. The Skibos missed Leonard’s height and his ability to rebound, especiallyon the defensive play, and his skill in advancing the ball down the floor during a fastbreak. |
