.I - V Basketball Row I: Francis Bednorz, Frank DeLeon, Ruday Salas, Joe Martinez. Row 2: Ed Nadolski, Ken Stokes, Eddie Archuleta, Manuel Abasta, Jesse Austin. Row 3: Coach Goodson, Jim Williams, Charles Roberts, Doug Knipp, Bob Rapp. THE J. V. BASKETBALL team found their various opponents hard to beat and rigid in competition. However, under the careful training of Coach Dan Goodson, the team, made up of many inexperienced players, was built into a hard-fighting and persistent unit. During the 1956-57 basketball season the Kittens lost many of their games, but the score was not the whole story. Although winning a game is very necessary it does not surpass in importance good sportsmanship, teamwork, and cooperation in which the B. H. S. Kittens really excelled. -73-

Varsity Basketball ,' 2 . wt . A xg Row 'l: Don Bays, Frank Aguirre, Jim Elkins, Richard Salas, Javier Guerrero. Row 2: Dick Verdugo, Floyd Jones, Rhodom Conrow, Bill Gaethie, Albert Cordova. Row 3: George Munsey, Dale Hancock, Coach Lester Dean, Dan Tillman. THROUGH THE ingenious and sedulous efforts of the new basketball coach, Mr. Lester Dean, the Pumas were able to overcome a slow start, this enabled them to finish a season with a record of 8 wins and i2 losses. Although the Puma basketball team participated in the Southern Conference Tournament, they lost both games played, the losses were due to stiff competition, not to a dearth of teamwork. Each and every member of the team worked painstakingly in every game, and throughout the season excellent qualities of good sportsmanship and team- work could not have been better displayed. -72-
