Cagers Couldn ' t Even Look Them In The Eyes by Craig Ciccone According to singer Randy New- man, short people got no rea- son, but the Varsity Basketball Team did. To most people, short is anyone shorter than five and a half feet tall. But even with some players who were over six feet, the team still considered them- selves short statured. The team, the coach, and even the spectators blamed the team ' s lack of height as the reason for their lackluster 4-16 record. The irony of their 16 defeats is that, most of the time, they fell short by narrow margins, including losses to Groves, 39-38, Troy, 51-48, Troy Athens, 36-30, and Berkley, 48- 45. In these close contests and in several other games, it was the lack of reboun- ding that primarily led to the defeats. As senior Barrett Tripp observed, As a whole, we were talented, but because of our lack of height, we didn ' t intimidate; we were the subjects of intimidation. So what were the factors which sparked the team to their wins? What allowed them to be so competitive in so many of their tough losses? According to senior John Debbrecht. We had aood At least we had the ability to move the ball and open up the play so we could shoot more.

Although the shrimps weren ' t amazingly accurate in their offense, their tight man-to-man defense and sharp reflexes enabled them to compensate for their height and keep the scores fairly close. The solid defense and consistent outside shooting, however, was not enough to put winning numbers on the scoreboard. But even when the chances of winning were slim. Coach Gary Chamberlain was still very positive about the team. In retrospect. Coach Chamberlain com- mented, Even though we didn ' t have the size, we were strong and very competitive. No one in the league took us for granted. The half pints all realized that they were short. The teams they played probably thought the same thing. But for once, the short ones could and sometimes did tower above the rest. 202 BOYS ' VARSITY BASKETBALL

Basketball Hoopsters Swish Though Season by Matt Wester The year proved to be an excellent one for the JV Boys ' Basketball Squad. After starting out slow with a 1- 3 record, team unity and strong efforts helped turn the season into a record tying performance. By finishing 13-6, they tied the record for the best JV basketball season ever. For the third year, the eleven member team was coached by Dan Whitfield. Led by co-captains Bob McCarty and Steve Schekel, the basketball team developed a large amount of unique team spirit and unity. The most valuable players on the 1986 squad were Steve Schekel and Dave Marcinkowski. Other key players on the team were Tim Vanas and Scott Kang who provided an excellent defen- sive block. This JV basketball team, like many others, had its high and low points of the season. Losing 3 of its first 4 games was a low point for the team, but by working harder they were able to beat the first place team, undefeated Ferndale, and finish with an awesome record. This squad had special comeback potential, after rebounding from injuries by Bob Teaching ability, in- stensity, and dedication to the program has been the key to our success.

The success of the team came from a strong will to work, team unity, hard defense work, and superb bench play. Tim Vanas pointed out, Many of our key games were won by hard earned bench players. Coach Dan Whitfield pinpointed the success of the ' 86 squad. Teaching ability, intensity, and dedica- tion to the program has been the key to our success. Knowing the right play to make in tight, pressure point situations was a unique characteristic displayed by the squad. This team has been a favorite of Coach Dan ' s because there was less talent, but with hard work they were able to succeed. Co-Captain Bob McCarty explained his feelings on being a team member. The hardest thing is staying mentally and physically ready at all times; this years ' s squad was able to master the mind game. Sophomore guard Scott Kang shows his awesome, game winning, offensive technique by easily passing past an frozen defensive opponent. photo by Doug Engle 204 BOYS ' JV BASKETBALL
