LACK OF LUCK HURTS TEAMWORK was the name of the game for the Eagles. But it seemed as if all the teamwork in the world couldn't help them pull out a winning season. Maybe the word for it is . unlucky. After all, losing times just doesn’t show much good fortune. Or maybe what slowed the team down was the fact that Richard Howells and Curt Harrison were out because of injuries. BUT there were a few list, Steve Swan averaged 19 points per game, and Mark Alexander pulled out a 12.5 rebounds per outing. IN the successes that the team did have, teamwork played a major part. When EAGLES five out of nine ballgames by an average 3.2points, while three were over- rays of light in the dark as Randy Marsh was named to the Small-State one boy was in a slump the other players would take up the slack. A: Tony Strangeway looks for someone to turn to during var- sity basketball action. C: Senior center Mark Alexander goes up for 2 points with a little help from the Highland Scots. F: In a time when athletes shun the flag and anthem before the start of a game or meet, the Eagle team has shown the proper re- spect and decency due to the flag.

RESERVE B-TEAM BLUNDERS, FROSH FIZZLE AND then there came the reserve team! The word unlucky that could have applied to the varsity season, doesn’t even begin to describe what the B- Team experienced. THE vitally needed team- work just didn't show through. Ability was there, but teamwork? Trying to run a pattern offense, which requires teamwork, didn't help much. THE team also experi- enced many mental let- downs. Being ahead at halftime and then losing by ten points just does something to a ballclub. It can put a team down for a night, and some- times for a whole season.
