xperience Leads to Success The Varsity Boys' Basketball team entered the Sierra League and 4-A Divison with four three-year lettermen, Pat Mclvlann, Kreighton Strass, Bill Miller, and Brian Hendrick. With the experience and the height the team disproved doubts people may have had about them going up against the big boys. Before starting any king of league or tournament play, the basketball team had six weeks of practice during the summer. The practices were two hours long, dealing with the fundamentals. To end summer play, the team finished se- cond to Long Beach Milkin in a sixteen team tournament held at Kennedy. During the fall, the boys practiced for one hour, ran after school, and condi- tioned in the weight room. Regular season practices began during mid-nite madness on November 10. Mid-nite madness was a practice open to the fans. It was a way to get people spirited for the basketball season.
