Front row: Coach Tony Kuns. Not shown; Eric Shuford, Darren Epiey. A Pressing down the court, T.J. Ford looks for another way out. T.J. was an asset to the J.V. team. A Succeeding with the jump ball, T.J. tries to toss it to a fellow teammate, I had a lot of fun playing this year, commented T.J. Ford. With an almost perfect season the Freshman Basketball team of Dia- mond Bar High School came home with a 13-7 overall record. The best league game being against Chino, when they held their opponents at a low score of 2 1 and pro- ceeded to gain points with an ending score of 51 to 2 1 . Their most difficult game was against Gane- sha. Both times that DBMS freshmen team played Ganesha they were defeated by an average of 1 1 points. They were a little bit stronger and a little bit quicker than we were, replied Coach Nichols. Even though we didn ' t win every game, we always had fun. T.J. Ford Although they had a good season the J.V. did not do as well. But even with an overall score of 5-16 they did as well as could be expected. We were a sophomore team trying to play at Junior Varsity Level till late in the season. commented Coach Tony Kuns. Some of the award winners for the J.V. and Freshmen were, J.V. Coach ' s award; Allen Niimi, J.V. most improved; Jim Wolfe, Fresh- men most valuable; Dean Dulude, and most improved; Larry Vladic. Even though these four stand out it took the entire team to win the games. They all showed so much effort, replied Coach Kuns. Basketball does have it hazards. For exam- ple Troy Porter, freshman starter, broke his hand with only five games left in the season. I hated to have to replace him commented Coach Nichols. He was a good, hard player, Coach Nichols, a student teacher at DBHS, was coach to the freshmen team as well as assistant coach to the varsity team. He may not be coaching next year unless he gets a teaching job at Diamond Bar. As for Mr. Kuns we can look forward to another few years of Basketball coaching on his part. J! O J.V.
