State Doad Sheds were more well balanced teams minus individual stars than has been the experience the past two years, since the project was launched. There is no question but the choices for the teams this year will not measure up to a lot of basketball enthusiasts, but a newspaper editor and reporter is not expected to hit em completely on the nose each time. So here we come with our team.

In Packy Fenn we see one of the most natural basketball players it has been our privilege to watch in high school. Hes a deadly shooter when turned loose at the hoop,, and his ability to play the floor is definitely instinctive. Working into Coach Glen Allreds system, this Myton junior contributed greatly to the success of Unions entry into the state tournament as the No. 3 team from Region Five, by his cool playing. He is placed at the other forward position. r A veteran and the main stay on little Tabionas basketball team during the past three season, was Delbert a husky lad who is under the six foot mark, but who was without a pier as a center. His nearly 200 lbs. made him a tough man to stop under the basket and his work from the post position was almost flawless. Del, who was his teams captain, was capable of piling up a high score, and seldom came out of a game with less than a dozen points. Hes our choice for center. r And that is our 1954 first team five fine youngsters who would be an answer to almost any coachs dreams. AU are fine students, and each one an outstanding citizen.
