The 86-87 boys swim team came to an outstanding conclusion with perfor- mances in the conference, sectional and state meets, said Coach Harp in his 13th year at RHS. The tankers finished third in the NCC, second in the section- als and sophomore John Klinge placed seventh in the state meet in the 100 yard backstroke. Their record was 6-3 and they ended the season ranked in the top ten in the state. Harp felt, The team ' s success was accomplished largely by the team motto, G.R.I.T. He also added, Their winning attitude was best exem- plified by their commitment and dedica- tion. John Klinge in lane 3 and John Bonney in lane 5 prepare to attack the water and the competition.

S i tet aU ecutt Semite a«men Tifi Richmond opened the 86-87 boy ' s bas- ketball season with an 85-87 victory over Lincoln. Then disaster struck. Rich- mond lost to Fort Wayne Northrop 76- 61 and New Castle 62-60. Things were looking down for the Dev- ils but they regrouped and went on to win five straight games. With wins over Muncie Central, Broad Ripple, Muncie South, Shenandoah and Centerville, Richmond improved their record to 6-2. Richmond then traveled to Marion to face the no. 1 ranked Giants. The game came down to a questionable call with seconds to play and Marion won 51-49. This was the closest game anyone has had against Marion all year. Richmond finished the season with a record of 16-4, and pushed their way to the state championship. The season was finished with the Devils ranked no. 6 by the AP poll. The keys to the success of the team were the excellent guard play by Woody Austin and Jerry Coleman. John Claiborne pushes the ball up court in hopes for a Devil score. 106 Varsity Basketball
