Show DHS Rabbits Line Up For State Class B Tourney By Sammy Chandler Two bits Four Bits Six bits A dollar, All for Delta stand up and holler. And those people from Delta feel they have plenty of reason to stand up and holler, for in spite of recent defeats the Delta high school basketball team won an undisputed berth in the state tourney. This district championship made the Delta boys the eighth team in the entire state to qualify for the tournament without a play off. The Delta basketeers defeated Parowan and Hinckley twice and Beaver, Milford and Millard once. They lost to the last three teams once. Coach Merlin Christensen guided the boys through the tempestous season. This trip to Salt Lake City will be his third time to take a team to the state play-offs. His starting team consists of 4 seniors and one Junior, who are: Bob Hortin A little man who should rate high on any scribe's choice for guard or postman. Those subscribers to the Salt Lake Tribune Tri-bune daily see him bringing the papers. Kenneth Fullmer This man is Delta's plucky sure-shot artist. Many times during the last two years his dead eye has won games for Delta. Elwood Dutson This boy from ' Leamington has consistently played play-ed a fast game. He is among the most amiable chaps in the high school. Scott Sheriff A tall, consistent good player Scott has continually -played a high grade, clean game. He may walk off with a place on the mythical state teams. Junior Dalton This flashy Junior Jun-ior player won his lead spot last j year while a Sophomore. He has since proved himself one of the most valuable players in the dist- . rict. I The other players on the main team are: Lynn Prestwich, Dick Clark. John Whatcott, Monan Lovell, Lov-ell, Winston Christensen, Barth Black and Clarence Prestwich. They have each played well and been valuable members of the DHS district dis-trict championship team. |
