Show This great victory came very appropriately ap-propriately at the time when space exploration is in full swing. The Miner are not first to reach the moon, but they certainly sent the Bingham rooters in a way-out orbit. So, congratulations again to the champs, to the school, the coaches, to the entire squad of all staters that did know they could do it. Hail to the Bingham Miners Class A Basketball Kings!

B.D.AA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE! All Hail to the Bingham Minersl Hail to the Class A Basketball Champs I Bingham High, after nigh on to 40 years, has finally come up with that coveted crown that heretofore here-tofore had always eluded it. Coach Udell Wankier, and his gallant squad of hoopsters can well be proud of the honor they gained, and the many years of frustration and heartache that they erased from the memories of loyal Bingham Bing-ham fans. The present Miners are more than champs to the myriad line of players, coaches and fan that stretches back far beyond their recollection. It has taken a long time for the perennial hoop tourney entry from Bingham to gain the top rung, but the victory of the present day Miners Will be remembered as one of the most glorious accomplishments accomplish-ments of a vast number of athletic achievements. It mattered very little what team the Miners ran up against in the big meet this year, the tougher the competition became, the harder and better the Miners played. Bingham placed two great all-around performers per-formers on the all state selections, George Sluga and Dave Erickson. Both of these boys, as well as their coach and followers, know that their fine recognition was aided by a squad of regulars and reserve that wanted to win, and played like all staters to prove their point. |
