Pete Rose (near right) drops in bucket from inside free throw line. T he varsity basketball squad finished a very good season, ending with an 18-4 record. 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.

JV Cagers breeze to 17-3 season The JV basketball squad coached by Mr. Jim George, had another su¬ per year as they finished with a 17-3 record. The cagers rolled through the season racking up victory after vic¬ tory, including the last nine games. George thought the team played exceptionally well the last three games of the season, and said their most outstanding performance was during the second Walled Lake Central game when they avenged an earlier seven point loss, beating them 64-47. Forward Tom Domako, who led in scoring with a 14.7 average, cen¬ ter Bob Sluka, tops in rebounding and second in scoring with a 9.7 average, and guard Rick Rozman, who led in assists, were the most valuable players, according to George. Guard Dan Gilmartin and for¬ wards John O ' Connor and Brian Porter also saw a lot of action. George said all eleven players on the team made good contributions to the squads effort. George, who ' s now 82-14 since he took over as JV coach five years ago, says at least six of his players have a good chance of making the varsity squad next year.
