JOE EPLER - Ad from 2021-01-09

Joe and Denise Epler Present LOOKING BACK By Curt Synness Fifty-one years ago, the Helena High basketball team rolled to its ninth consecutive win of the young 196970 season, with a 75-47 victory over Livingston. Despite a ball-controlled offense by the Rangers designed to slow down the high-scoring run-andgun Bengals, who averaged 83 points per game, HHS still managed to put four hoopsters in double figures, led Kermit Eck by senior guard Jim Chambers’ 15 points. Next came Kyle Johnson with 13 points, Pat Donovan at 12 counters and 10 markers by Kermit Eck. Gary Delano and Dave Pillatzke chipped in 8 and 7 points, while Terry Voiles added 6. “One of the things that didn’t change...was the rambunctious cheering of the Helena student body,” the IR reported. “They were still pounding their blocks of wood, still holding their signs, still cheering every move made by Helena, still moaning every move by Livingston, and still chanting ‘We’re number one!’” This group later became known as the “Rat Squad.” NEW LISTING! 3 Bdrm., 2 Bath home with great views!
