   Under the excellent leadership of Coach Ken Kline, the Pottsville Crimson Tide had another successful season.

   The Pottsville basketeers made an excellent showing in the tough East Penn Basketball League by compiling an overall 15-7 record. For the first time in recent years, Coach Kline had several tall boys who played an important part in the Tide offense. Combining height with hustle and desire, Coach Kline's team generated more excitement that did most teams of the league. The most exciting game of the year was the upset victory over the Huskies of Dieruff, 90-64.

   The return of four staters, plus many experienced players insures Coach Kline of another winning season in 1969-1970. Not to be forgotten is Coach Jack Keating's Junior Varsity squad. The JV's compiled a won-lost record of 16-6. With such talent, Pottsville's basketball future seems especially promising.
