Freshman cagers open winning prep careers l -L S4 'J' if A successful year, of breaking into high school-level basketball, was spent by Marana's Kittens, under the direction of Coach Vi- debeck. The team worked at de- veloping the fundamental skills of basketball. What the team lacked in height, with the tallest player reaching only six foot, they made up in de- termination and speed. The use of a fast break scored the Kittens many points. The group had the potential to aid Coach Callicotte on next year's junior varsity. 1.

Cubs show early power Marana's junior varsity wres- tling team started out by man- handling Sahuarita, 78-6. A three-game winning streak fol- lowed against San Manuel, 30- 24. Baboquivari, 75-6 and Sun- nyside, 38-27. Tough Flowing Wells and Coolidge brought the first losses to the Cubs. But they returned with conference victories against Safford, 46- 12, and Globe, 36-20. This sea- son the Cubs, under the coaching of Cliff Nystrom, have gained enough respect that next year they could be an ex- plosive team offering tough op- positions to other schools in the AA South conference. 1.
