Petrolia,, district 14-A
champions made it all the
way to the state finals
before being smothered by
powerful Kennard 77-67.
Going into Saturday night’s
finals, having beaten San-
ford-Fritch 77-57 earlier that
day, Petrolia had a 34-0
record.
Both Sanger and Pilot
Point are in District 14-A
and both suffered two
defeats each at the hands of
the powerful Pirates from
Petrolia.
However, fans from all
over District 14-A were
hoping Coach Nichols could
take his Petrolia team to the
top so their teams could
shine in the reflected glory
of being in the same district
with state champions.
Larry Spruiell, &2 senior,
schoolboy blue chip pros-
pect, hit 36 points for
Petrolia in the final game
but it wasn’t good enough as
Kennard had height advan-
tage with all five starters
scoring in the double
figures.
Several area fans traveled
to Austin to see the state
finals in Class A, AA and
freshman Johnny Coker.
James Hood is manager
md Doug Powell is trainer.
Mrs. Edna Ezell has
