Vicki DeLa Trinidad, freshman, had lived with basketball for many years. My sisters have both played basketball at the high school level and my father coached at a basketball camp. They have helped me a lot with their ex- perience, and they teach me a lot in fun- damentals about good basketball, stated DeLa Trinidad. I have never been on an organized basketball team before, but I had always played at home with my sisters and friends, she commented. JoAnn Nako became the j.V. coach last year. She had played basketball in high school and knew a lot about the game. Being a coach took a lot of time out of the day for Nako. I spend one and a half to two hours a day planning practices and making out new plays for the team, she remarked. Nako also ad- ded that all of the team members got along well and that they were a good group to work with. She enjoyed work- ing with young people and teaching them a good, fun sport . Freshman Theresa Scionti set some goals for the season. I would like to improve my basic skills. Also, I hope to play a lot and do the best I can, she stated. I joined the team because I have always wanted to play on a basketball team, to have fun, and to get into shape, commented Scionti. I learn a lot by being on the team. Things like, sportsmanship, a lot of leadership, and especially to help out others, said DeLa Trinidad. Scionti also commented that she had learned a lot about people. Teamwork, spirit and to try her best were important to her. t N 1' .mana A WZ?

.fir M Pride Kee sTeam ein kills such as shooting, dribb- ling, passing and running,along with a person's attitude, were the criteria that Coach Dave Lynch looked for during the Varsity Boys' Basketball tryouts that began on November 4 and lasted a period of four days. The team consisted of ten members and the key players were: Sam Tullous, forward, Bill Piper, guard, Eric Toran- zo, forward, Alan Addleman, guard, Doug Kramer, center, and Lowell Spalla, center. Bill Piper and Eric Toranzo, seniors, had previous ex- perience playing on last year's varsity team. Other key players were either on j.V. or Freshman teams prior to last year. Later in the season Lynch activated his manager, Leonard Altieri. Lynch recognized the teams offense as their strongest point and felt they did well in shooting and rebounding. He depicted their defense and speed as the main weaknesses and explained, Other teams are getting down the court before we are and are having easier shots. Bill Piper commented, We've beaten ourselves. We haven't played a team who could beat us yet.', As far as the team's attitude and spirit, Lynch felt it was good consider- ing they hadn't had much success. Team member Alan Addleman, senior, said he had pride in the team but, sometimes when your losing the hard work doesn't seem worth the effort. As far as his abilities in expanding he went on to say, Lynch tries to make you use the best of your ability, and be the best person you can be on and off the court. It was Lynch's ninth year as coach of the Boy's Varsity Basketball Team. A Eric Toranzo's facial expression reveals the tremendous strain he is under.
