Ball-Handling Perfection WHAT'S ALL THE COMMOTIGN? Sounds of high-tops squeaking on the floor, the ball bouncing, and the swishing of the net resounding throughout the boys gym as the Boys Varsity Basketball Team dashed to success. Returning from a championship year and the loss of a number of great starters ad- ded great pressure, yet the team handled it as well as they handled the ball! Energy and teamwork kept the team on top. Many new players Man, l'm getting tired! 50 f Boys' Basketball added optimism and depth to the Dons. Quickly and easily, the old and new members of the team joined to create a whole united force. Rather than depending on a single player or a single strength, the Don's game was perfected in all areas, offense and defense. Of- fensively, height created a prob- lem as most were small in size in the league. However they did not let that hinder progress. Defense played fearlessly, not letting any- one get inside the key. Near perfection came into view as a result of hard work and dedi- cation. Intense workouts and con- ditioning even during winter break, kept the Dons in high-top shape. Thus, again, the Dons of Aragon were sure not to let the fans down, and added loud cheer- ing to the other basketball noises from the gym.

The Best Offense Is Defense CUURTRDDM DRAMA A promising new group of ath- letes ensured Aragon fans an ex- citing and successful season of frosh-soph basketball. Although the team lost their veterans from the previous year to Varsity, the arrival of seventeen talented new players brought sincere spirit and determination onto the court. Re- alizing the team's inexperience and lack of height, Lou Murgo coached the team everyday after school until 5 o'clock in order to intensify the drama on the court. Coach Murgo concentrated on improving the team's weak de- fense and sharpening the players' impressive offensive skills. Accu- rate shooting and cooperation on the court helped Aragon attain many victories during the season. These skills also qualified the Dons as competent competition against rivals San Mateo and Hillsdale. Be- cause such a large amount of freshmen tried out for basketball they outnumber the sophomores 2 to 1. Through unity and dynamic action on the court the Dons en- joyed a triumphant season of bas- ketball. Aragon basketball performed W4 S . .t K ,g-.. 11557.
