The Season In Review
Taken from the 1974 Comet
For the second straight year, the Bulldogs proved themselves capable of competing in the Midwest Conference by winning the league crown with a 13-1 record. Under the direction of first-year Head Coach John Morey, the team proved to be a formidable Opponent especially at home, for their only loss came at the hands of non-conference Kuemper. There was never a dull moment for fans in the fine, new gym. Fire alarms, expelling of fans, inspiring music from the pep band and fine basketball from the players entertained the spectators at the home games.
For the first time in years part of the tournament was held in Manning. The Bulldogs defeated Carroll the sixth time in two years for the sectional crown and slipped past Manilla in a very exciting contest. The district final was played in Des Moines in Veterans Auditorium against North Polk. A close contest throughout the game, the Bulldogs came up an the short end of a very hard fought game, ending their season with a record of 18-4.
