The frosh practiced an average of thirteen hours a week, displaying their skill on the court throughout the season. The starters for the freshmen were: Rodney Peete, Tom Shrader, Darryl Rice, Craig Reeves, jim McMahon. The I.V. team had 13 members. The team was loaded with quick players, good shooting ability and a lot of skill. The starters for I.V. were Louis Schuette, Sheldon Thomas, Mike Slawson, Tim Clawson, Prank Gacon and Bo Jordan. According to Coach Crawford, Even though the J.V. had early season losses the team showed the ability to increase their intensity of play to do whatever they needed to do to win.

Girl Cagers shoot for number one Practice, practice, practice. That was the word for the girls basketball squad. For three hours each school day as well as three hours each Saturday, the team worked on all areas of basketball. Conditioning, shooting, and rebound drills were the main objects in practice and the team also worked on offense patterns, defense patterns, and jump ball and out of bounds plays. Six girls returned from last year's squad, including Suzanne Schauff, Kathy Simko, and Kim Manchester. Coach Betty Johnson expected them to be the top players. The team started the season on March third with the goal of being number one. With all the practice, this goal was not out of reach. 72 SPORTS P. Soto Team members take a well deserved break from practice to exchange ideas on offensive patterns. P. Soto During practice, the team works on free throws, an important part of any basketball game.
