xpectations ot Met Every game was fast paced. Moves were done with skill and perfection. Crowds were cheering. Coaches were anxious. Players were determined. Every game seemed to be an exciting one for the IV Basketball team. Frowns were upon the members' faces as they missed a basket. Smiles and hand- shakes appeared as a score was made. These were only some of the moves made by the team at every game they played. Although the IV Boys' Basketball team went along 4-3 in pre-league, including a one-point loss in the consolation finals of Bosco Tech Tournament, the season did not have as many wins as they had expected.

Coach Patterson remarked, I was very pleased with the overall team attitude, which was very good. He said that as a coach, he really enjoyed working with the team and they were all a unique bunch. They were hard workers, but they didn't know what it would take to be successful. They all went through a learning experience and found a need for commitment, remarked Coach Patterson. All the juniors and only one sophomore will be moving up to Varsity Basketball next year accor- ding to Coach Patterson. With many returning sophomores on next year's IV team, they will be much more experienced.
