For the first time Hughes sent two teams to the State Basketball Tournament.  The Blue
Devils won the District 6B Championship but lost in the state tournament.  The Imps came in
second in District 6B but lost to Delight, Arkansas in the state tournament.

Due in part to the fine play of the Hughes basketball teams, a new foul board was erected in
the Gym (Old Gym) courtesy of Finley Electric and with the hard work of local citizens.

Miss Linda Arnett, English/Secretary
