Hoopsters 0 for victor Walking into the well lit girls gym with the unstable broken down bleachers you can hear the voices of the few fans who attend the games, but above it all you can hear Coach Lottie O'Neil yelling directions to her team. Meanwhile the team is getting impatient with her orders which they don't understand. Even with all the hassle Amador got it together in time for victory. At the game's end the fans all leave, the broken bleachers are put back against the wall and the lights are turned off. Once again the girls gym turns into just another dark room.

First came the loss of Andy Finn tearing a knee cartilage and missing the first nine games. Next the Dons lost the fine outside shooting of Phil Hansen, a three year letterman and all-league guard, who broke his ankle in the first game of the second round against Livermore and was out for the rest of the season. Following the loss of Hansen, Amador lost its first league game in two seasons against Granada. The Dons nineteen straight league wins being just one short oftieing the record. The Dons played one of the toughest preseason schedules around playing some of the state's finest teams and taking its own classic title. The Dons had some fine individual talent with Andy Finn, Jeff Hine, and Phil Hansen being chosen as all-league. Rich Hall and Rob Yackley played outstanding all around games with help from Mike Hill, Ed Costello, and Jim Turner. I 168:,,l varsitybasketball
