The whole team was really intense both on offense and defense. We came out ready to win and that ' s exactly what we did! Freshman Chris Facione commented on what he thought was the greatest moment for the freshman basketball team this year. That wasn ' t the only good thing about the team this year. They had five excellent starting players who led the team to a record of 8 and 6. These players included: Scott Tomko. Chris Facione, Cameron Carter, Eddie Keller, and Michael Flanna. The team also felt that the coaching staff, led by Tom Hays and Mel Hudson, did an excellent job. They were great. stated Cameron Carter, They were more like friends than coaches. The team learned alot this year about working together and playing as a team. They also have much to look forward to in the future. Freshman Scott Tomko commented, I look forward to playing varsity and winning a league championship. Reaching Goals At the end of a disappointing season, the boys Sophomore basketball team posted a record of 3-11 in league and 6-15 overall. Although feelings among players were mixed, they agreed that the season as an entirety was a let down. We were beaten by 40 points at least 5 times. I think if we would have played with more intensity, we could have at least been a .500 team, commented Chuck Newvine. It was frustrat- ing not being able to win as many games as we had hoped, added Todd Still. Also, the Sophomore team acquired two new coaches this sea- son, Gary Raya and Dave Pickney. This may have contributed a small part to the team ' s misfortune. Even though our record was below our expectations, we still had a very good team. Hopefully, a lot of the guys will continue to play because there was a lot of talent on our team. Offensive- ly, we were led by Dave Pierce and Charlie Stevens, Defensively, Rob Carrington gave us a lot of key steals and forced a good amount of turnovers, concluded Stitt, Looking Toward The Future Beginning the season with a slow start was one thing that temporarily held back the JV basketball team this year. As freshmen, the team went undefeated, so losing their first game was a dissappointing setback that caused the team ' s record to be 2 and 5 at the start. Through much determination, hard work, and alot of practice, the team made and outstanding comeback to win the last 5 out of 7 games, The team started off slow, commented sophomore Curt Behle, we expected too much because of our record last year, Another asset to help the team was their ability to work well together. At first everyone wanted to be a superstar and we didn ' t work well with each other, but at the end of the season we came together. stated sophomore James Byers. All of the players have a positive attitude and have many goals for the next seasons. Sophomore Sean Shedlock commented I look forward to making varsity and winning GIF , The team this year was led by coach Johnny Johnson and assistant coach Marvin Therman. Our coach related to us well and we love him , added Behle, we were one bonzai team!

At The Buzzer 10, 9 Jill Malyuch drives the lane with the Hawks down by a point to Katella. S. 7 Her shot misses but she draws the foul. 6 seconds remain on the clock as she goes to the line. Jill sinks both free throws and the girls ' varsity basketball team holds on to win by I. Clutch playing by Jill Malyuch led the team to a 12 10 overall record. Their 9-5 finish in league tied them for third. If a basket was needed. Jill Malyuch was looked upon. Three times, twice against Katella and once against Alta Loma. she scored the game winning basket. I play my best in close situations , replied Jill. Her big plays and all around performances won her Empire Leagues most valuable player award. Kalhy Ncwvine. the starting center, was also named to the all Empire League team. Strength was added to the team by Joanne Popala. an exchange student from New Zealand. My role was to take people out. said Joanne. Her rough style always put her in foul trouble. I think the referees here (in America) are ticky-tacky. she said. The adjustment was hard because I had to learn new teammates and plays, plus the competi- tion here (in U.S.A.) is tougher, Injuries are the most dreaded aspect of sports. All the hard work put into a season can go for not. Such bad luck befell point guard Laurie Abernethy. She went down with a knee injury in the Esperanza game. It hurt us a lot. said Jill Malyuch. Laurie controlled the flow of the game. At mid-season, we had to change all of our offense positioning . The team started slow losing 4 of their first 6 games. Things turned around when we learned how each other played and started playing togeth- er. said Joan Pcsl. We always kept a positive attitude. We played hard to prove ourselves and to have others take notice.
