'Kids unbelievable' The kids did an unbelievable job toward the end of the year, said Coach John Lassen of the JV basketball team. The team finished its season with a 12-7 record and was able to come back from an early 1-4 record at the beginning of the season. Coach Lassen cited Kevin Warren, Chris Parham, Stan Colgate and Phil McKinney as outstanding players. Warren average 18.5 points per game, Parham averaged 12.5 and McKinney led the team in rebounds with 12.5 per game. Although the freshman gold basketball team lost 12 players during the season for different reasons, Coach Manuel Lira thought the team did well with a record of 7-1 1. Mr. Lira complimented the boys for not giving up and having very good attitudes. Coach Lira has coached basketball for ten years. He is hoping more freshmen come out for basketball next year. The record is not indicative of their talent or their overall desire, Coach Bob Yniguez said in regard to the teams 7-1 1 record. They're not quitters and they're all winners to me. The team suffered the loss of two of its starting players in the middle of the season. Between the two players lost Coach Yniguez estimated the team lost about 27 points per game. The highpoint of the season was the team's overtime victory against McClintock in which Coach Yniguez cited Robby Peterson and Pat Winsryg as decisive factors in that victory. 186-Baskelball
