Melvern Panthers face size gap in 1968 69 basketball squad
Melvern's basketball tradition continues as 1968-69 Panthers, led by Bob Duncan, return six lettermen including starters Jim White and Lynn Gourley. With only one 6-foot player, Myron Lake, the team will rely on pressure defense and experience to contend against bigger opponents, opening at Olpe and facing Central Heights, Overbrook and Waverly in quick succession.
