Young Bulldogs Bring For the past severaJ years basketball has been a forgotten sport at AHS,but ’86-87’ was the beginning of a new life for basketbaii in Alliance. This new life is mostly due to Chuck Tank, the new head coach for the Bulldogs. He put in many new philosophies, but the most important was the winning attitude he gave to a very young team. The BuJJdogs had an incredible year at 16-4, and didn't have a player over 6’2” or any seniors on the squad. The team relied heavily on quickness and a very scrappy defense that forced opponents to over 20 turnovers a game. Alliance was led by one of the best backcourt tandoms in the area with junior [on Petersen and sophomore famie Tomlin. Petersen led the team in assists with 124 and was second in scoring with 250 points. Tomlin was the leader in all scoring catagories with 364 points and was also the leader in steals with 71. The Bulldogs also got great production from Junior Bill Boness and Sophomore Jay Segrist. Boness scored 247 points and was the leader in rebounds with 142, while Segrist poured in 227 points and had 92 rebounds. As this season showed, basketball is back at AHS, and with everyone returning next year, Alliance could be one of the top teams in Class B. The Dogs are already thinkin' Lincoln. With a team high of 364 points, famie Tomlin shoots for two. Tomlin was selected to the All-Western Conference squad. During one of the Bulldogs' gomes. Tate Adams demonstrates his shooting form.
