Youthful Buffs Youth was the name of the game for Smoky Hill's Boys Basketball program. The varsity squad had only one senior starter and five seniors coming off the bench. The programs at the lower grade levels built the foundation for future varsity success for the Buffs. Mr. Anderson's jayvee team had a successful season as Frank Alvarez, Tony Kirby and Scott Hudson worked on their team leadership in preparation for next year's competitive varsity season. Coaches Brookhart, Roth and Jensen worked at developing skills at the sophomore and freshmen levels, as these teams practice the same strategies and defensive alignments as the varsity. With this fine coaching, the adjustment to the varsity level is not such a great shock. Each team worked hard throughout the season to maintain Smoky Hill's fine basketball reputation.

Sherry Peterson drives up the court. The Lady Buffs celebrate after the exciting victory over Hinkley. Real Team The lady Buffs had a great season this year in basketball. With a 9 and 3 record near the end of the season the girls were ranked 9th in the state, along with being first in league and leading the city series. Their major upset came midway through the year against Hinkley. The Buffs came out on top 45-44. That was the first time Smoky Hill has defeated Hinkley in ten years. Karen Steely, a member of the girls varsity basketball team, thinks there is more of a competitive spirit among the team, mainly because now Smoky Hill is a team to beat among other league teams. The lady Buffs played harder and stronger this year and unselfish play was the key. The team played strong offensively with Chris Earnest being their high scorer and Sherry Peterson as a point-guard. Other strong offensive players were Tanya Nixon, Cindy Quincy, and Julie Morris. Defensively the girls were able to keep the other team from getting inside and driving up. F if ie f fzriwvf f. ,.
