Bouncing Back Basketball Players Shoot for Victory As the 1984-85 basketball sea- son opened, a new, stronger group of players looked forward to many challenging games. Freshman, JV, and varsity players worked as much as possible to create winning teams.

Combining such unity with superb athletic ability gave the team the unique style that kept them strong. Seniors Brad Lit- tle and Mike McLaren were lead- ing scorers, as well as outstanding all-around players. Senior Kevin Mayfield claimed many honors as wei.
