at AL 1 1 At the start of the 81-82 basketball season the Running Raiders were ready to face their opponents with perfected skills and winning attitude. All of this new found strength was partly do to the teams strong will to win. The driv- ing force behind that will was headed by coach Bo Whitelock. This was coach White- lock's first year and proved to many that he had the ability to keep the team at top shape. Ajo was predicted at the beginning of the season to be one of the lowest ranked team in the conference. This year's team was filled with much more talent then expected. R unnlng vue 1 N I 1

Their record showing only four wins against six losses, but the returning Red Raiders gained the valuable experience for the 82-83 season. Another factor contributing to the season was the key injuries always coming at the wrong time. New to the coaching staff is coach John Thompson who took over the duties of head coach. Assisting him was veteran coach John Hickman seeing his first year as a varsity coach, although he has coached track for many years. Aja High will enter the Class B conference next year and hopes are that the Raiders wlll be able to face the new competition with better success. FOOTBALLX85
