Undermanned but Feisty, .Wwe Prevent Lopsided Scores Loss of players was given as the reason for the junior var- sity soccer team's unprosperous season. During the season eight players quit and three were moved up to varsity. Upon losing goalie Tom Burns to varsity the team was faced with the problem of finding a new one. Finally Doug Rogers, from the freshmen team was selected. Doug Rogers and Jong Lee finished the season as the team's leading scorers. Opening the season against Rancho the team came closest to a win by losing 3-2. Then, the Bengals tied Chaparral in a slow-paced O-0 game.

The season ended with a record of one win, ten losses and one tie. The Bengal frosh won all three of their games. Before the actual season began the freshmen soccer team was sched- uled to have four games with Basic, Valley, and Clark's fresh- men teams, but due to the lack of interest at Clark there was no freshmen team. The frosh ended up playing only three games, two against Basic and one against Valley.

I 12 Difficult Wins Highlight Season First time wins added to the basket- ball season's excitement. Bonanza beat Las Vegas, Clark, and Valley for the first time ever. Coach Reese enjoyed a proud moment when the Bengals beat Las Vegas, tough team which he had helped coach three years ago. The Valley game was close all the way and the Bengals pulled out a win of 59-58 in the last few seconds. The whole team participated in the 85-44 romp over Eldorado. It was the first time the Bengals really domi- nated a game. The team earned the first trophy for a Bonanza basketball team at the Car- son City Tournament in December. By beating Douglas High, Bonanza won the Consolation Championship. 2 ..-in- rr .Lxi ls My HM . 4Y,'kVgk M M ,,,,,,....
