Although the varsity basketball team didn't excel them- selves as everyone hoped for, the team's spirit was high; and they really showed a lot of enthusiasm and hard work. One of the star players, Tim Hendricks, was voted All-Conference, MVP, and a member of the All-Area bas- ketball team named by the Elwood Call-Leader. Hendricks and Eugene Boswell were the co-rebounding leaders. Harry Schmink won the trophy for the most free throws scored. This year was Jim Fletcher's first at coaching the Eagles, and although the final scores weren't impressive, he felt that the effort put out by the team and the fans served to make the games more exciting. The greatest support was from the fans. The hard work and great per- formance by the team appealed to the fans, stated Mr. Fletcher. Fletcher felt that the team's average would have been better if three of the best players had not been forced to drop out at the beginning of the year.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM - (L. to R. ) Row 1-Chuck Covell (mgr. ), Leslie Hiatt, Bruce Hughes, Tom Beeman, Dennis Wellman, Levi Cox, Tim Wade, Allan Brown, Steve Parker, Rick Pardue Row 2-Scott Taylor (mgr. ), Don Knotts (mgr. ), Dean Cheetham, Greg Karr, Larry Shively, Dan Etchison, Jim Wright, Dane Whetsel, Mark Schultz, Kevin Sumner, Ass't. Coach Mike Lynch, Head Coach Phil Abernathy. The freshman basketball squad posted a win-loss record of 2-13 in A team games, while the B team had a 2-10 season. Although the records were not im- pressive, several of the games were lost by close margins and these fresh- man players could go on to form an impressive varsity team. Overall, Coach Phil Abernathy felt that these players gained some much needed experience and that they could be very instrumental in helping the future FHS basketball program for the better.
