Five Returning Starters Spark Varsity Victories Basketball fans had plenty to cheer about this year as the varsity team won 10 of 14 conference games, of which 9 were won by 6 points or less. Coach Eric Magdanz says the team's success is due to the depth of the team and the playing ability. Experience also helped with 5 starters returning from last year. Since this year's team was not very tail, they were forced to play an outside game. City losses were due to poor free throw shooting and inconsistency on the boards. North defeated South by one point in the first meeting. South was the only team to come that close to the conference leader. On second meeting. North was undefeated, but the Tigers broke through the fullcourt press to tie at halftime, 38-38. In the second half. North took the lead through aggressive shooting. South came back and outscored North 19-9 to win the game 71-69. School spirit helped the team along as fans gave good support at both home and away games.
