Varsity Struggles Through Inconsistent Season The Varsity basketball team had an up and down season, finishing with a 7-9 league record and 10-11 overall. The Eagles started the season winning 5 of their first 6 games and except for a bazaar ending in the Swartz Creek game, they would have been 6 and 0. The fans and the team had to be thinking possible league championship. However, it wasn ' t long before the Eagles ran into their first of many league losses with a 34 to 64 thumping at the hands of arch rival Fen- ton. Things only got worse over the next four games as they lost to much improved Mt. Morris and Oxford, and then 2 ex- tremely painful one point losses to East and West. The rest of the season was erratic, high- lighted by a pay back win against East. This was by far our best game all year, stated Coach Hopkins. The Eagles finished the season with a respectable showing against Fenton in the Districts 66-59. Considering the thrashing the No. 1 ranked Fenton gave them earlier in the season, this showed that the team had not given up on themselves and played a very tough game. ■ Vars ty Stats Most Rebounds Scott Johnson 183 Most Steals Chris Franks 43 Most Assists Neil Huyck 47 Best FG % Chris Franks 69% Best Point Ave. Chris Franks 14.8 Best Field Goal % Mike Draper 59% .V Linden 57 Hartland 42 55 Lk.
