From Saturday's Daily Preceding the announcement of the schedules and classifications of ! the teams entered in the state bas ketball tournament at Lincoln the coming week, reports from that city Ftate that Plattsmouth high has been placed in Class A, the leading grade of the world's greatest basketball feathering. The classifications have not been fully authorized but from the splen- did showing of the past season the Plattsmouth team has been strongly considered for weeks for a berth in the top class. The state high school athletic board, which is making the classifications, is now in session in Lincoln and has had a Herculean task in classifying over 200 team;? which have entered the tourney and will have one more class this year than last. The information from Lincoln states that Plattsmouth will have as their opponent in the opening game Thursday morning, the Hastings i high school team, runnersup in the . tournament last year. The local team has played most consistent and high class ball all sea son andl their record merits them a place among the leaders. Their showing against Peru and the strong Nebraska City team with the loss of one of their principal players marks them as real championship contend ers, with a fighting ?pirit and a de termination to win. This is the first time since 191G, when Plattsmouth was represented by Frank and June Marshall. Ray Larson. Fred Speck and Art White, that a local team has landed in the top class, and the third time since the tourney was instituted, the same players having made it in 1915.
