CHAMPS Basketball Page 29 Under the leadership of head coach Bill Sharp, the basketball squad of AHS enjoyed a fair share of success during the 1976-77 season. Although they were often faced with opponents several inches taller, the Eagles superior speed enabled them to often compete and many times defeat opponents such as Monroe. Over the Christmas vacation, the team traveled to Ferndale to participate in the Blaine Christmas Tournament. By beating Meridian and Sultan High Schools, the Eagles took home first place with the first basketball team trophy to be brought to Arlington for quite some time. While developing much talent he'd had from previous years, Coach Sharp continued to build his team by preparing underclassmen for seasons to come. GMB 1 9 77

STEW SOPH TEAM Something new this year for AHS was the formation of a new basketball squad, composed entirely of sophomores. Coached by Harry Drinkwater, the sophs should provide much potential material for the J.V. and varisty teams next year, and the following. The sophomore team this year gave an excellent chance for many aspiring young players to gain experience who otherwise might not have made the junior varisty squad. It's an idea whose time has come.
