Spartan az eng Spoilem. Coach Van lvrrguner Irrllzs over' strategy with his team :luring o lime out falter! l1ySpur1t11z opponents. Q fmt ndermteoz' Basketball provided the winter excitement at Stevenson as the eagcrs aptly demonstrated their powers against teams which were supposedly ca- pable of grinding the team up. Victories against VX7arren hlott, VValled Lake, and Farmington proved the Spartans capahle of a strong defense while maintaining good oilensive tactics. Easily the most spectacular victory was the upset of Farming- ton. Two prior victories had hinted at the consistent play of the team hut Farmington was homhed hy a firedhup team. Stevenson again showed its strength in the regional tournament where little chance was given for success. The team was supposed to be eliminated quicldy hy Garden City whose record promised a runaway. The team must have forgotten that they were houtclassedm as they stunned their opponents and thus gained entrance to the city H- nals. llere, against a strong Bentley team. the Spar- tans put on a tremendous show as they were only l'our points down. The experienced Bentley team was ahle to salvage a victory hut the strong show- ing made hy the Spartan cagers promises much. linrsity llzrslzetlmll: lirorzrz rllr. Vurz ll7tlgUIlUl', Il.

The team, under the direction of Mr. Van VVagoner, put in long hours of practice and at times scrimf maged the varsity to give those who had developed their skills an opportunity to make the varsity team. Vvhile the record was not a winning one, the games were never lopsided. YVhat the record does not show is that most of the junior Varsity players were sophomores and generally played against junf iors. The added year of experience on the oppon- ents' part was just a little too much to overcome. Next year, with the added year of inter-league com- petition, the Iunior Varsity should prove an asset to Stevenson. Sw
