Pirates mount a shooting star The 1981-1982 basketball season proved to be quite a show. The Pirates displayed a lot of talent and promise for the future. The Pirate bucketeers started out the season by defeating Spalding, but could not get back on the winning track until Bartlett fell in overtime. Sante had a long bus ride home after their loss. Although Linsay, Cedar Rapids and Chambers had to really work to defeat the Purple and White, Silver Creek had the luck of the bounce in District play and ended the Pirate season, winning by two points, 71-69. Graduation will have little affect on next year’s team and the dreams and goals of the players have been set as high as the State Playoffs. Below, John Seier brings the ball down court at the Conference Tourna- ment. while Larry Temme provides backup. At right, “Up, over, around and through. Come on Rick, put it through.” Rick Pelster makes two more from the free throw line. Full Team: L to R (back row) Manager Vin Wiegand, Clint Baumgartner, Rolan Knust, Dale Henn, Ken Leifeld, Bob Veik, Gary Pelster; (front row) Doug Koch, Rick Pelster, Tom Temme, Larry Temme, Clyde Stuhr, John Seier, Roger Seier and Coach Stewart. 22
