Boys' Basketball Team started on No- vember 6, practicing two hours a day. With an initial large turnout of close to 30, they completed the season with only IO. Playing I8 games during a four-month season, they earned a record of 5-l3. I've seen a lot of improvement in every player. l'm especially pleased with the way the team played since Christmas. We got off to a slow start, but got better and better as time has passed, pointed out Coach Ken Ziaghan. The Freshman Boys' Basketball Team started 228 their season on November 2, l978. The first prac- tice resulted in a turnout of only 6 freshman. At the end of the season the team settled in with 8 dedicated players. Practicing after school for 90 minutes each day, they came up with three of the best freshman in the state and a season record of 9 and 7. They are a young group of people who will play a lot of varsity ball in the years to come. Chugiak will have a good future if these players continue on, commented Coach John Jordet.

I, .L V, Freshmen Build up Their kills This season has been enjoyable and I am look- ing for these girls to do a fine job for Chugiak High School in the years to come, commented Robert Thoroman, the Junior Varsity Girls' Bas- ketball Coach. He feels that the team built skills such as dribbling, passing, and good shooting for the future. His Most Outstanding Players were Katrina Lange and Kelly Kirk. According to Mr. Dean Vogt, the Freshman Girls' Basketball Coach. the players worked hard this year and showed great success with their 230 skills. Often during the season he stressed, Kids today like the idea of being an athlete or a star but a lot of times they don't want to put the work into it that you need to be good. When you play a sport, it has to mean more to you than anything else. He felt the most outstanding freshmen players were Jana Jacobs, Sammy Neuman, and Melody Hillborn. Both coaches agree that improving skills for the varsity team is their main goal. They basically felt that they achieved this target.
