The Juniors Were Good, Too The Junior "Wildkittens" who were very small in size but very big in spirit won eight games and lost six. Under their able coach , Stan Schwartz, the Juniors enjoyed a good season on the hardwood. Add a few years and a few pounds to these young fellows and they will make Harding Academy a fine Senior team. Like the Senior team the "Kittens" were unsuccessful in tournament play. After winning one game in the county tournament, the Juniors lost to a good Bradford team. The district tournament brought a defea t by Desha . Characteristic of the team was a spirit of good sportsmanship. 1955 - 56 Season Record Harding 33 ............... .... .. Harding 32 Harding 38 .. ·Harding 37 -Harding 29 .............. .. ... .
