Hixon: "Looked

By Dario Cipriani Sports Editor
The Lakers, still sniffing "at a
bid for the District 18 playoffs,
defeated Wheeling last Sunday
and upped their season record to
14-6. Playing their finest game of
the year, the Lakers rolled over
the Cardinals 72-55, and now have
a better than average chance of
obtaining their dream. |
Curtis Hixon was interviewed
on Monday by this writer. Curtis
is a transfer from Paducah,
Kentucky. He is serving as the
official bookkeeper and preacher
for the Lakers.
Following is the text of the
interview:

present impression of the
Lakers? Are we going to get a
