Varsity players lend an ear to Coach Pressey's strategy during a time-out. Under the coaching of Mr. Rod Pressey, the 1979 Varsity Viking Basketball Team had an excellent season. By placing 4th in KingCo. they qualified for the West Central District playoffs. This is the first year Inglemoor has ever competed in these playoffs. There were several other high points during the season, including beating Juanita, then ranked 2nd in state. The Vikings also beat cross-town rival Bothell twice, both times at Bothell. The team also flew to Hawaii to play in a Christmas Basketball tournament. There were several new faces on the team this year, including exchange student Ross Close from Melbourne, Australia, and transfer students Dan Hamann. from Kings’ Garden, Allan Neill, from Salt Lake City, Utah, and Len Sielicki, from Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Vikings reached the 90-point mark twice; once against Interlake, and once against Redmond. Hamann tied the school record for points scored in the Interlake game with 38. Next year looks promising for Inglemoor Varsity Basketball, as both Neill and Hamann are juniors, and several other juniors gained quite a bit of varsity experience. Varsity Basketball 67
