The team has played fine ball all season and has shown constant improvement. On January first, 1949, Shidler became a member of the North State Conference. The North State Conference  was organized in 1937. The following schools were charter members: Stroud, Oilton, Yale, Cleveland, Hominy, Pawnee, Fairfax and Newkirk. During the past 13 years, since the conference was organized Hominy and Pawnee have dominated the basketball situation. However, Fairfax won the championship las year. Stroud and Newkirk have dropped out of the conference and Dewey and Shidler have gone in. Pawnee is the only undefeated team in the conference at the present time, and Shidler the only team with a single defeat.

This was a rebuilding year for the Shidler High roundballers. In the season opener at Ralston, the boys were determined, but just couldn't withstand the pressure of the overtime play, and were defeated by one point. Next, Fairfax played on the Tigers home court, and an enthusiastic crowd saw the Tigers dump the rival Red Devils 56-52. The highlight of the year was definitely the unexpected upset of Hominy near the end of the season. The boys turned in a perfect example of "Team-manship" making few errors and hitting 74% of their free throws.

Wow! What a basketball season this year brought us. So many close games. They were games to watch, play in, and coach. The compliments we received from opposing fans, administrators, and even referees that many of you were unaware of means that your hard work, attitude, and desire to improve yourself did pay-off. Winning is important, but being an athlete who is respected by your peers, your coaches, and most of all yourself is what matters most. Remember what the great coach, John Wooden, once said, “If you haven’t the desire, you haven’t the will, and without the will you’re lost.” Coach Chad Walker. Record:

Kyle Lawson said, “The basketball season is going pretty good so far especially for all the younger players on the team. The team is mostly made up of Sophomores and Freshmen. We work hard in every practice to do our best. We play a lot of bigger and older teams. Although we know they are more experience, we still play our hearts out. As the year goes on, we will get better. As the season goes by, we are starting to hang with the more experienced teams.”

With the advantage of keeping what they had last year, the Shidler Men’s basketball program was one step ahead of the opponents. Ready to make their mark this year, the Tiger’s dominated the floor many times with ease, they came through obstacles, and in the end became an amazing team that everyone was very impressed with and proud of. This year’s basketball team was led by great leadership. This leadership was provided by four returning players. These young men actively led the underclassmen throughout the season. They provided them with the skills needed to be a successful team, with a great work ethic. Coach J.C. Brewster
