The 18-4 mark included lopsided wins over Redford Union, Garden City East, Inkster-Cherry Hill, and Waterford, and close triumphs over Farming- ton Harrison, and Dearborn Edsel Ford in overtime. The squad also won a Christmas tournament held at Plymouth Salem featuring teams from Salem, Plymouth, Canton and Churchill. In the March Madness tournament, they beat Churchill, and then bowed out of district play to Frank¬ lin, 68-66, in a tough game. Senior guard Gregg Berkey led the team in scoring with a 10.4 points per game average, and made the Inter-Lakes Conference first team, and the Observer ' s second team. Pat Martin and Dave Milek made the second Inter-Lakes team. Coach George VanWagoner felt the team played well all year and that every player on the squad was an asset to the team. This year ' s squad had a relatively easy confer¬ ence schedule to work with. However, next year the competition becomes tougher as Stevenson enters a new conference, Western Lakes. Bentley, Franklin, Churchill, Northville, Harri¬ son, Walled Lake Central and Plymouth Salem all are on next year ' s schedule.
