New Eagles Uphoid Winning Tradition J an Shorest basketball teams, both the Freshman and the J unior Varsity, once again made winning synonymous with Eagles. The new Eagles proved themselves in their first year at LeBlond by playing .500 ball until the final game with a victory over Benton. The girlsi freshman team has only been in existence for three years and each season the rookie class has demonstrated its athletic abilities with great skill. The 1980 team was no exception. Behind rebounders J ulie Hart and Debbie Malone and point-producers J ulie Rizzo and Renee Rhyner, the frosh came out the victors. 1. 1. Julie Hart keeps it tight for the freshman. 2.

A .r i .3 7 .- . 4 ,. .. . . , .,. , , For the first time in the schooFs history, the Varsity basketball team won the M.E.C. tournament with a thrill- ing victory over the previous defenders, Lafayette. The M.E.C. champions, behind the high scoring and rebounding of Rick Rhyner, introduced their season with eight straight wins. This victorious play brought the fans in the rediscovered ffpitf to thei feet. Their first defeat to Lincoln fNebJ Northeast during the LeBlond tournament did not hinder the unit. A first place M.E.C. trophy and eight con- secutive wins were only the prelude to a very exhilarating season. No loss, no victory was as closely contested as the encounters with City League opponents. A Homecoming victory over Benton, 3 two point loss at Central, and beating Lafayette three out of four meetings represented the greatest success LeBlond has had against their local foes in some time. With their third conquest over the Irish, the Eagles garnered a first place tie in the conference with Savannah. Q: U EAGLES
