The victories of the 1962 Reserve Basketball team were of team effort and scoring was always evenly dis- tributed. Hard work and determination were typical of this team as the final outcome was 14 victories and l defeat. The play leader for the Iunior Vikings was Guard Eddie Waits. The hopes for another great Varsity team look good as Dick Tallis, and lim Davis are just two of the boys who will go on to the varsity team. Sophomores who are also likely prospects are Dave Palmer, Rick Lentz, Bill Moore, Iohn Deming, and Bill Walkins. The Sophomore Basketball team's record also gives Iackson High the idea our 6-A champions can go on as the sophomores finished with 5 victories and 2 defeats. Through the experience on this team many sophomores will go on to higher level teams. All in all, 1962 was a most successful basketball season for lackson High School. 1 ill'-KSU' 40 r A jackson shoots and the players await the out come. - mmf. ixlilggfi LKCKSUQD .135 ., ' - ful r .
