Varsity Basketball: Hightimes at SPC The team, both on the court and on the bench, in the words of coach Mr. Rich, looked umuch better than last year. Juniors Trae Wood and Mike Holzer were key players in Sandia's offense, both averaging around seven points a game and pro- viding a constant threat to opposing teams. Juniors Warren Wolf and Mark Friedman were also strong on offense, Warren was particularly good under the basket and Mark had a deadly outside shot. Seniors Joe Sommers and Kyle Whaley both had strong seasons, their experience and hustle making them an effective offense and defense. Trent Kamerman suffered a se- vere ankle iniury early in the season but came back and finished the season well. Newcomer to the team, Junior James Vaughn showed marked improvement and was a valuable addition. This year marked the first time that Sandia participated in a 3- day tournament, the dubiously named Bean Valley Tournament, which took place in Vaughn, New Mexico, at the end of Janu- ary. Senior Josh Gottlieb earned the honor of being the Albuquer- que Tribune's Player of the Week , the first person to do so in the school's history. Josh was leading scorer and central to many Sundevil victories. BASKETBALL HIGH TEN, iuniors Trae Wood and Warren Wolf celebrate another win as senior Kyle Whaley looks on. Boys' Basketball-91

A Year For Records Junior Varsity and C-Team Basketball teams had a very busy '82-83 year. The C-Team, a combination of 7th and 8th graders: Sydney Blocher, Ed Ebel, Phil Hickey, David Hurley, Jack Sobel, Matt Weaver, Irby Wood, Jay Zan- ios, and David Zenner f7thl and Rob Vandermeer, Zane Watson, Britt Harville, Ty Schroeder, and Steve Miller Q8thj under Coach Pete MacFarlane, played games against Coronado Academy, Holy Ghost, Hoover Im- manuel, and Santa Fe Prep. Junior Varsity had a fantastic season which included win- ning their first game in three years and having the highest total of points scored in one game I65j in the history of the school. One major setback for the team was, unfortunate- ly, its number of players. They totalled sixteen which meant that their first string did not always play through every game. However, the entire team played well and worked hard. Team player, Griffin Pickard, won the award for the most valuable player and David Wolf was awarded the most improved player, making this a record breaking year. 90-Boys' Basketball T-VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM, Coach Gordon Rich, James Vaughn, Warren Wolf, Mike Holzer, Trae Wood, Trent Kamerman, Mark Friedman, Kyle Whaley, Josh Gottlieb, and Joe Sommers. 2-SKY HIGH, Senior Josh Gottlieb pulls down another rebound against arch rival, Hope. 3-GIVE ME THA T!

Coach Rick Wettin commented on his team's performance: l'The team is very young and inexperienced now, but a couple of years down the road, we will be more competitive .
