It ' s Showtime The Hawks may have been noted for three main- players; Barl Hakeman. Jim Mansfield and Jim Sammon. but the whole team contributed to its successful season. We were a good team, but it was hard to get pumped up for every game, commented Bart Ha- keman. For the important games, especially the Kennedy games, we were motivated, thats why we wore those green sweatbands. said junior Jim Sammon. Crowds followed the Hawks all over Orange Coun- ty to watch a team that knew how to put on a show. Their famous three-corner play always left people on the edge of their seats. People should remember that at one time during the season we were ranked third in the County and first in CIF. stated Jim Mansfield. The season ended on a sad note when the Hawks lost to Ganesha in the second round of CIF. I really thought we could have gone all the way to the Long Beach Arena, commented Damon Cooke. That thought will continue to linger on in the minds of the players after the great season that they had. Senior Roger Behle fakes out his opponent to find his open teammate. Barry Dahmen.

Old Time Basketball ' s Back Crowds roared as the Hawks drove past all their competition this past year. Every gym they played in was packed. The fans really showed their support at the last league game against Ken- nedy, when the Hawks walked away with the title of co-league champs. We brought the kind of basketball back to E.D. that people like to see, commented Tim Green. The Hawks were known for their fast-break style of play. This was proven when the Hawks broke the record for the most points scored in the Brea Tournament, when they defeated Schurr High School 104-103. The season was like a reunion for all the seniors on the team. They finally got to play together again. It hasn ' t happened since their days at Tuffree, As a team we played good together, and the timing was almost always there, replied Damon Cooke. Over the season, the Hawks demonstrated their own brand of showmanship play. Fancy playing came as easy to them as it does to the world famous Harlem Globetrotters. faiJM Juniors Dan Bailey and Jim Sammon get in the way of an oncoming opponent. The team worked hard on their defensive game. The crowd waits in anticipation as Bart Halcetnan forces his way past a Kennedy defender. Kennedy proved to be the Hawl s toughest competition in league.
