SUPH'S DEDICATIUN PRUUF UF FUTURE SUCEESS SOPHOMORE GOLDS BASKETBALL E Stevens . Wells, B. Knox, M. - y II Barnard, D. Iohnson. In his fourth year of coaching the sopho- mores, Mr. McDonalds Red team, although not always in the winner's circle, enjoyed a satisfactory season. Both sophomore teams were the earliest of the hoopsters as they started their practices at 6:00 a.m. They may have been tired, but the eager sophomores rarely failed to make their early morning work outs, Even though they were limited to floor space, the sophs took advantage of every min- ute in developing their scrappy teams. This year's Golds under the guidance of Coach Larry Ubben, had a very successful season, Although they didn't win the Champ- ionship, they represented Mount Tahoma in a truly fine fashion. They showed improve- ment throughout the season and were able to defeat the rival reds in both games. The competition was keen between these strong spirited sophomores and many of them are looking forward to next year's varsity and reserve teams. SOPHOMORE REDS - Kneeling: M. Nelson, T. Rice, T.
