Captain Rick Peterson converts an offensive rebound into two points against DeMatha. As he splits the Stags defense, Scott Richardson makes a 3 point play. Bruins The Bruin’s 75-76 schedule was as tough as the Bruins themselves. Besides the obvious problem, the new super district, the Bruins faced the best non-league opponents available. Fairfax, Lee, Mount Vernon and Groveton were four of the region’s top ten teams and DeMatha and St. John’s were east coast powers. The Bruins were against players such as All- American Hawkeye Whitney and Bucky Roman. However, the Bruins kept their poise. They suffered a severe letdown after the heartbreaking loss at Robinson. Leading with less than ten seconds to go and in possession of the ball, the Rams stole the ball and inbound passes and scored five points in five seconds. The Bruins were upset twice the next week before they came back to destroy league-leading Woodson. 130 Winter Sports

A turnaround jumper by Todd Williams isn’t enough to defeat the Rebels. The smallest man on the court, Bobby Steele more than makes up for it by his great jumping ability and controls the tap.

Williams 86 Lake Braddock West Springfield A determined effort by Kent French cannot overcome the Stags of DeMatha. The Varsity Basketball Team utilized their sixth man, the home court advantage. They compiled a 5-3 record at home and they defeated 3 opponents at home, when they lost to them away. The crowds at the games were the largest, even though they competed on the same nights as wrestling and swim-dive. The players could feel the emotion playing at home. Winter Sports 129
