Freshmen Gain Experience As Coach Keith Staehr's freshman team compiled a 1-9 season record. Lacking offensive quickness and speed the team averaged only 30 points a game. The team lacked experience and confidence. By the season’s finale players had gained valuable knowl- edge and confidence to be used later in reserve and varsity basketball. Although it was not a winning season, teamwork was evident and several players showed strength which will be an asset to next years basketball.

Only Two Returning Although Coach George Haun had no returning starters, he did have six letterwinners back. The two seniors, Ann Kallhoff, and Bonnie Strauch, and the four juniors, Ellen Johnson, Annette Greenwood, Debbie Felton, and Trisha Haun. The main highlight of the season was the triple overtime game with Scottsbluff. The score was 34 to 34 at the end of regulation play. The final score was 40 to 46 causing the second loss of the season. A team with only two seniors was not expected to do well but with the help of the juniors and sophomores the season ended with a record of 8-9.
