This type of activity puts a lot of strain on a basketball play- er. You have to be in top physical condition. Pre-season training con- sisted of long mileage loops to build up their endurance. Once the season started the team began working on fundamental skills such as passing, shooting, and dribbling. Then the practices be- came more indepth when they be- v shoot for two. gan working on strategic plays. The basketball team practiced an average of about three hours a day. This year's team was considered rather young with only two senior starters on the squad, The cougar cagers were also considered small compared to past year's teams. Standouts on the team were sen- iors Steve McGann and Louis Schuette and Junior Rodney Peete. Other top players were Senior Shel- don Thomas, Junior Eric Aurand and Sophomore Victor Roberts.
