Calvin Boys Win Class "B" Championship

Last Friday Coach Simmons carried his cage team to Baton Rouge to enter the
State Tournament.  Friday night they played their first game against Meaux and
defeated them 30-18.  Saturday they played the Pride team, who were strong
contenders for the title and defeated them 31-26 after a hard fought game.  In
the semi-finals they played Rosepine, another strong team and defeated them
30-28.  Saturday night in the final game they met Florien boys and won by a
score of 31-25.  Each player received a miniature gold basketball and the team
was awarded two trophies, one from the Louisiana State Athletic Association
and one form the University.  Two players on Calvin's team had the distinction
of being placed on the All-State Team.  They were Hesley Dee Canerday, who was
chosen All-State forward on the first team and J. D. Canerday, All-State guard
on the second team.  Only one other school in the state in Class B had the
honor of placing two players on the All-State Teams.

Calvin fans are justly proud of the showing the team has made this year and we
hope to hear more about these players in the future.
