The team ended up in a three-way tie with Julesburg and Wray for the basketball championship in the Eastern Colorado conference, each team having won seven of the 10 conference games played. The Dragons lost to Dailey in the final game of the district meet to take second place, giving them the best claim to the conference championship, although the championship officially ended in a tie. — Source: Phillips County Museum
