The Second Basketball Team FRONT ROW: Bierbrier, Baiz I. VanTighem II, Williams, French. BACK ROW: Mr. Martin, Hou II, Rachmaninoff II, Morrison II. Davies. Lam, Hodge I. Appleby ' s Second Basketball Team for 1974-75 was no great success, with a disappointing 9 losses to 1 win. Many times when we seemed to have the game won, victory eluded us due to carelessness, mistakes, im- patience, lack of effort and sometimes simple bad luck. This team had no height advantage nor any great amount of ex- perience behind it, but regar- dless of this, we lost through our own errors on most occasions. We generally began our games too slowly and the opposition took full advantage of this to run up a lead which was in- surmountable later in the contest when we played better basket- ball. The team members were Steve Baiz, Mike Bierbrier, Bryan Davies, Tim French, Dave Hou, Herman Lam, Keith Morrison, Jean-Pierre Rachmaninoff, Roland To, Bruce Williams and Mark Van Tighem. Our starting line-up was Bier- brier, Davies, Morrison, Rach- maninoff and Van Tighem, all of whom gratefully thank the ' benchwarmers ' , especially Baiz, who came in many times to replace Davies or Tighem with great ability and skill. The entire team also wishes to thank its ever patient coach, Mr. Martin, who resolutely attended many ill-attended practices throughout the season. Although the season was an unsuccessful one from the point of view of games won, we nevertheless had a good deal of fun in trying and we are all looking forward to next year. M. Van Tighem II

tight situations. Mike was one of our four key players and we relied on him a great deal of the time to get us moving. Mike Cheney was a valuable ad- dition to this year ' s club. He was a good play-maker and an able ball-handler, and being a streak shooter, he came up with some incredible shooting exhibitions. Scot Hawthorne was perhaps our most aggressive player, and he helped Gall and Waterfield a great deal in the rebounding department. Vincent Stewart was another of our strong rebounders and he also played aggressively on offense - we are sorry that he will not be with us next year. Kevin McMurchy was injured early in the season and he un- fortunately played in only two games. The highlight of the season was the rematch with U.C.C., who had been undefeated to that point. With the entire school in a high state of excitement over U.C.C. day , the gym was packed for the first time all season. The game proved to be one of the most ex- citing sports events of the year at Appleby, as we battled U.C.C. to the end, and with just retribution, we defeated them 51-46. We ultimately finished second in the I.S.A.A. with a 7 win - 3 loss record. A very hearty thank you is due to our coach, Mr. Paul Martin, without whom the season could not have been such a success. We all look forward to playing for him next year, for we shall be losing only four players. In retrospect, it was indeed a very successful and thoroughly en- joyable season. M.

The Third Basketball Team FRONT ROW: Manifould, Grimes, McCarter, Duncan. BACK ROW: Mr. Richardson, Stewart II, Francis, Ellery, Stott. This year ' s Third Basketball Team did not experience many victories but gained valuable ex- perience throughout the season. It was felt that the experience would afford the team members many victories in the years to come. The team was coached by Mr. Richardson, who succeeded in instilling in our players many basic skills fundamental to the game of basketball. These skills ' were eagerly put to use by the team towards the end of the season. The team was led by a strong first string of which the Captain and Vice-Captain were a vital part. Most of the points were ac- cumulated by the centre, Peter Ellery, and by Kevin Peru Stewart. This duo was more com- monly known as the ' Peruvian Connection ' . Other first string members were M. Francis, P. Grimes and J. McCarter. In support of the first line were the following able and willing players: P. Duncan, P. Manifould, G. Stewart, G. Stott, J. VanTighem and F. Jennings. Leading Scorer: P. Ellery. Co- Captains: J. McCarter, P. Grimes. THE RECORD vs Ridley Lost 27-21 T.C.S. Lost 49-20 Crescent Won 24-17 S.A.C. Won 33-27 U.C.C. Lost 47-42 Ridley Lost 38-32 T.C.S.
