Coach Phil Hubbard faced a difficult problem in his first year JV basketball coaching job at Marysville High School this season, two of his top players were moved up to the varsity squad, thus denying the JV's of rebounding and scoring punch. One bright spot for the season was the determination of JV members who never gave up and continued to work hard in practice and during games. Trying to overcome these handicaps. Coach Hubbard held basketball practices in the mornings before school, after school, and during holiday vacations. Developing basic basketball techniques such as dribbling, passing, and rebounding consummed most of the time spent in practice. Top scorers for the JV basketball team were Tom Hoover, Vernell Harris, and Roger Shadd. Victories this season were over Red Bluff, Oakmont, and Lindhurst.
