Southworth, Moyer, Nicholson

Varsity Basketball The Redskins had a very successful season with a final record of fourteen wins and three losses. Considering the limited schedule of the Redskins, it must be admitted that the team was unusually strong. Coach Don Wilson had representatives from all classes on his team and by choosing his oppon足 ents from various church leagues and independent teams, the Redskins had some tough opposition. After taking a defeat at the hands of Oklahoma City Trinity Baptist in their first game, the varsity team came back in the fifth game of the season to beat the Trinity Baptist team. The other two losses were at the hands of the strong Bethany First Church of the Nazarene team, while the next thirteen wins were from Meridian Park Church of the Nazarene, Epworth Methodist, First Baptist, Mayfair Baptist, Exchange Avenue Baptist, Kelham Baptist, Capitol Bombers, and Unit Parts, all of Oklahoma City, the All-Stars from Jones, and the BNC Alumni. Senior Ronnie Snowbarger led the Redskins with a total of 254 points to average fifteen points per game and John Phipps was a close second with 239 points and a fourteen point average. Stan Wilkins, Wayne Moyer, and Ed Nicholson all scored over one hundred points. The next five, in or足 der, were Dwight Southworth, Kenneth Presson, Duane Yoesel, Charles Riley, and Curt Ammons. The Redskins scored a total of 1,215 points with an average of 71.5 points per game while hold足 ing their opponents to 860 points for a 50.6 point average. 190
