New coach asks cooperation of boys Lourdes acquired a new basketball coach this year in Dave Helmick. Assisting him was Father James Schrader in practice and game warmups. Although new for Lourdes, coach Helmick was no rookie as the team ended with a season record of 9-10. Coach Helmick did stress, however, that winning was not just up to the coach but up to every individual team member; if basketball was to be a team sport, then the winning would also have to be done as a team. Returning for the next year were 11 varsity team members including All-Conference player Bill Hauder and the newest member, Bryan Kreifels. Father Schrader coached the reserve team to a promising 6-9 record. They will no doubt add to the strength of the varsity in future years. Team members were Steve Allgood, Ed Derks, Tom Eiserman, Dan Harshman, Joe Heng, Mike Navrkal, Steve Nocita, Bruce Welniak, and Doug Wichman.
