Junior Varsity Basketball Strive To Reach Success “We are improving each game and practice, and it is an honor coaching such a fine group of young men,” stated David Lopez, the junior varsity basketball coach, during an interview this past mid season. Although the team started slow with three losses, they charged through the remainder of the season with many defensive victories. 236 Junior Varsity Basketball Team: Top Row; Manager • David Flitner, Eric Nelson.

For the 1979-80 Varsity Basketball teams in the State of Arizona, the Skyline Division is, by many considered to be the toughest and most competitive assembly of teams in the state. Then, why were the Apollo Hawks so successful? Precision plays and spirit brought to the team by head Coach Jerry McCormick and the sharp shooting abilities of Darryl Galbraith and Shawn Blomgren, made the team outstanding. Also, contributing to the squads success was the fact that the entire bench had as much talent as the starting five. The Hawks triumphed when they played in the Glendale Community College Christmas Tournament. They made it to the quarterfinals, but bowed out to the eventual winner of the tourney, Sunnyslope. The squad ended this year with a thirteen win and six loss record. Opposite Page: Pat Sell safely holds onto the ball as he watches for an open teammate.
