A major goal for a junior varsity team is to let young players gain experience for varsity competition. How- ever, an additional bonus for the 1974-75 junior var- sity basketball team was a 15-5 record. While coaching the first team to hold a winning record at Central, Coach Bob Clark utilized several talented sophomores. Winning the Junior Var- sity Holiday Tourney was one of the highlights for Central's B -team. The young Blazers emerged vic- torious over the four-team field, as they deservedly took home the first-place trophy. Best free throw trophy went to Kurt Dougherty. 28 Basketball

Tankers grab 14th place, post 11-4 swim season Would you have the forti- tude to swim five miles a day just to improve your time fractions of a second? The Blazer swimmers did, helping them accomplish their best season yet. After a year's absence, Ted Foland returned to coach the Blazer tankers. He was welcomed with an abundance of talent, as the eager swimmers trained for the season. Jumping off to a fan- tastic start, the Blazers won 11 and lost only 4. After taking second in the sectional, Central placed fourteenth in the state meet, represented by Jay Harreld, Mark Vite, Tod Lo- van, Chuck Girten, and Kurt Free. Harreld was the only Elk- hart swimmer to make it to the finals, as he placed fifth in the 200-yard individual medley, and second in the 100-yard butterfly. 1974-75 Varsity Swimming ECHS OPP.
