the 1967-68 Freshman Basketball Ceam consisted of nineteen boys. They are, First Row, Larry Wells, Mike Curtis, Craig Rippen, Dean O'dell, and Danny Pepper: Second Row, David Blair, David Miller, Allen Linhart, David Ruiz, David Trucblood, and Kocky Webster: Third Row, Jimmy Jackson, Fred Reed, Ronnie Coffman, Eddie Thielke, Mark Walsh, Dwight Tribby, Craig Ziegler, and Ruben Betancourt. The main starters for the frosh squad were Coffman, Walsh, and Webster. Theilke, Curtis, Crueblood, Linhart, and others filled in the other two starting positions. Highpoint scorer for the season was Konnie Coffman. Eddie Chielke, who entered the season late, was the high rebounder on the squad. Coach James Donaldson said that the team per- formed as a unit with the result that there was no one player who was outstanding. Frosh Play Hard ZI ithough finishing the season with a 2-0 record, the Freshmen Basketball Team had a much better season than its record indicated. Of the ten games they lost, the Frosh lost four by only two points and lost two other heartbreakers in overtime. With a little luck, the Freshmen could’ve had a winning season. The Freshmen showed a great deal of im- provement as the season progressed. They played much better the second time they played a team and scores were much closer. Sometimes the Freshmen would be behind by about fifteen to twenty points, but they would always stage a fantastic comeback in the final period and come within a few points of winning the game. The two teams that the Frosh beat were Eloy and San Manuel. After losing to the Freshmen, Eloy went on to finish with one of the finest records for a freshmen team in the State. Facing San Manuel on Feb. I7, the Frosh once again came from behind in the last period to win their final game. Coach Donaldson felt his boys were just starting to play good basketball when the season ended. He explained that most of his boys were small and are slow maturing. Every opponent was stronger and taller. Right, Freshman Allen Linhart practices his shooting in preparation for the nevt basketball game.
