Crucial Game Listed
For This Weekend
The next two weeks are vital
in Montgomery County basket
ball competition, with two
teams tied for first place sched
uled to meet this weekend and
only three tilts left in the race
for the Class AA championship.
The upset of Northwood
last weekend by B-CC and
Walter Johnson’s victory
over Wheaton turned the race
for the county title into a
photo finish affair.
Northwood and Walter John
son play at Northwood tomor
row night in what is easily
classed the game of the week,
if not the season.
The same evening the two
quintets tied for second place,
B-CC and Blair, meet at Blair.
Coach Paul Bolyard says
that It has now reached that
point where his Northwood
Indians can’t afford any mis
takes if they are going to live
up to pre-season predictions
and win the county basketball
championship. And, Bolyard
says, “Anything can happen.”
The other coaches are in
agreement with Bolyard, par
ticularly underdog Walter John
son. The WJ Spartans have
been out of the limelight most
of the season and now bask in
the glory of sitting on top of
the league for at least a week.
