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 ,,,,,,....

Unity Captures Wins Wins came easier and more often when the varsity basketball team started playing as a team. December saw only two wins and three losses. By January, three seniors and one junior quit the team due to dissension with Coach Reese. Then the remaining four seniors and Coach Reese inspired the team to its' longest winning streak ever. The four-game winning streak included wins over two of the toughest schools in the division, Clark and Las Vegas. Kirk Speelman C6'4 J played center for the team since he had the team's highest leap from a standing position. Trent Scarlet C6'5 J was a key forward averaging 11 points per game and being high scorer in seven games. In February Von Alleman was moved up from JV and added his 6'7 height to improve the team's rebounding capa- bilities. This year's strategy was a basic run- ning game. lmprovement during the season in passing, setting up plays, and rebounding helped the team's win- loss ratio. After placing fourth in the Carson City Tournament and fifth in the December Bonanza Invitational Tour- nament, the team entered the Zone Tournament on February 27. 4 Senior Kirk Speelman makes a fast break and slams against Rancho. Y Veteran,Keith Brantley has been on the varsity squad since Bonanza has opened.
