 The Windber basketeers had their best season in the Tri-County League of any year since they began to participate. With six wins to six losses they finished up in third place. The junior varsity won four and lost eight to place sixth. The varsity can look forward with an optimistic air toward their chances in competition next year for they are losing only Robert Halcovich and Joe Sendek.
In their season record, they came through 12-10. On a whole, the season was still very successful for many of the games were close ones, or lost in the last few minutes. The biggest thriller of them all was probably the Conemaugh Township game where a see-saw game ended with Windber ahead 65-60.
Probably the most outstanding thing about the team was the excellence of its foul shooting. Many games were actually won at the foul line as a close analysis would show.
The team was a good team-work one. Joe Sendek and Ken Solden were the outstanding point getters, but the team backed them to a man. Of all the players, Joe Sendek was probably the most consistent player for he could be counted upon both defensively and offensively. The other senior player, Robert Halcovich, was an outstanding defensive player. He really came through in that hair-raising Conemaugh Township game.
