Devastating defense and potent oifense proved to be the key to the sophomores' highly successful season. Be- hind their coaches, Bob Belt and Gary Mitchell, the Marauders stormed into their season with every intention of capturing the tough S.C.L. number one spot. After two heartbreaking setbacks, the Marauders got on the winning track and won seven straight games. Also the team held their opposition to an average of only six points a game.

The coaches stated that all in all the team showed a lot of spirit and self- control, which should be helpful in the following years.
