W ,ZZ It is not often, if ever, that a basketball coach can boast of 500 ca- reer coaching victories. JHS varsity coach Van Deerman can. Deerman, a 30-year veteran, picked up that magical number of wins on December 15 when his Golden Eagles blasted Saks High School, 55-25. But Deerman is a humble man, and was originally going to keep his mouth shut about it. I never told anybody about it, he said a few days before his 500th win. But then in the basketball team's covered dish supper before the season started, I decided to let people know. It was al- ways one of my goals to reach that plateaufl And versus the Wildcats, he picked up 4500. The Wildcats basket- ball team was never much to write home about in the first place, but on that night the Eagles played their hearts out for their coach. uit was a special game for us, Deerman later offered, and the boys went all out. The team is a proud group' For anyone in the crowd that was inspired by Deerman and wants to go out and win 500 basketball games, a word of advice: it takes good teams, a little bit of luck, and not your average amount of desire to win. Even though he can retire anytime he wants to, Van Deerman loves the game of basketball. And it is obvious in the quality of his teams, their discipline, and his coaching. Deerman put it into perspective when he said: I hate to lose. lOl
