Stroud won 43-32.
Bryce Roderick, new boys
basketball coach, explained Tues
day night following the 53-42
loss at Stroud that the local
boys were getting better but
had a lot of work to do before
being able to compete with
many of the teams schedule. The
Demons return one starter from
the previous year and suffer
from a lack of experience.
A post season footbal game
in the state football playoffs cost
the Demons a full week of prac-
rice as all but one of the bas-
ketballers also played football.
The boys team looked "better
than I expected," according to
Roderick in the Ripley game as
the locals stayed within five
points of Ripley throughout the
game.
The Demons scoring was well
spread with Danny Kastl lead-
ing with :eight points. Randy
Jarvis had seven points, Hap
Wells, six, Bob Evans, five and
Rusty Behne, four.
Leading the Demons in re-
bounds during the game were
Evans with 12 and Behne with
11.
