They lost by one basket in the first game to Nordorf but were able to reverse the tables, the next I night, and beat Atascadero by two points. They then faced highly rated LA. Baptist and walked a- way with a victory and a conso- lation trophy. With a boost they thought would help, the Lions entered the Brea-Olinda Tourna- ment, only to lose both games. Pre-season play had been rough on the Lions and now league was to begin. They opened with a victory over Pater Noster — that was their last until they came to the mid- point of the season, beating Par- aclete. The second half of the sea- son was an exact duplicate, giving the Lionsa4-10 mark. It was a season in which there was no definite starting team as Coach Ed Reitz continuously mix- ed up the line-up, searching for key combinations. It was a sea- son of trying times when victories didn ' t occur often. They didn ' t have all the glor y of past years but they still had the spirit and the fans, who continued to travel great distances to cheer their Lions. It was their team, win or lose, and they were proud.
