SECOND ROW: Coach Dennis, Jack McCoy, Bruce VanderWall, Bob Schulke, Neil Saretsky, Steve Trelfa. BACK ROW: Bob Am- lotte, Mgr., Harley Glawe, Jim Hennessey, Tom Allen, Damien Budnick, George Stevens. The 1966 AHS cagers, led by all-stater Harvey Marlatt, was the most successful team in the school's Class A history. The record of 16-l represents the most games ever won during the regular season. In the tournaments, Alpena avenged last year's loss to Bay City Central, then beat Mt. Pleasant in overtime, 85-84 on a free throw by Tim Lutes, to win the District Championship. ln the first of two regional contests, Alpena overcame a 17 point deficit at halftime, and went on to defeat Flint Ainsworth on two free throws by Har- vey Marlatt, after time had run out. Mar- latt scored 38 points in the 77-75 victory. FBARLESS LEADER ! Against Flint Northwestern, Marlatt scored 36 points, leading AHS to their first Class A Regional Championship. However, in the quarter-finals against Grand Rapids Catholic Central, our lack of height on re- bounding was a major factor, and despite Marlatt's 36 points, Catholic Central won 80-73. Marlatt's 38 points set a new single game highg he scored 1066 points in his 3 year varsity career, which was a new rec- ordg he also broke Howard French's record season total of 437 by 20 points . He led his team to a 20-2 year's record, advancing it farther than any previous Alpena team in tournament play. N95

WRESTLERS HAVE 5-6 SEASON RECORD With only one senior returning this year the wrestling team was very green and in- experienced at the beginning of the season. With more experience and a few losses be- hind them, the Wrestling team progressed to victory near the end of the season. All of our opponents we met earlier and lost to, we beat when we met them again. This year's experience will show in an even finer season next year, said Coach Gilles- pie of his team.
