G mnastics Builds Talents The girls' gymnastics team has continued to make progress in its three years at Hoban. The season record was 3-6 in dual meets. Coached by Kathy Nelson, the girls worked intently toward in- dividual development. Some early season injuries, however, somewhat hindered this prog- ress. Despite this fact, the girls' perseverance was rewarded with a commendable season with many fine individual perform- ances. Four girls advanced to sec- tionals.

Stat- ing that he wanted to cut down on mistakes and to build up the team's serving power, Brother Richard started practices trying to do just that. With several seniors on the team, many spots will be open for next year. For this year, the team finished with a re- spectable record, show- ing itself well against many top teams.

Throughout the season, leadership in the standings changed frequently. Because Blitzkrieg defeated the Bac- kyard Booters early in the season, Blitzkrieg C3-11 finished in the rankings ahead of the Booters Calso 3-13. This pitted Blitzkrieg against the 4th place Korner Kickers and the Backyard Boot- ers against the 3rd ranked Park Boys. The championship game saw a rematch between Blitzkrieg and the Backyard Booters. This game proved to be the most hard-fought, action-packed soccer game in Hoban's history. The teams battled each other and the Weather as Well. This time, the Booters defeated Blitzkrieg. Eddie Aranyosi, a member of the Akron U. soccer team and a 1972 Hoban graduate helped to make this SGHSOTI Ei SUCCESS . The basketball Intramu- rals were directed by Mr. Kelly. The teams played on Saturday mornings. Tough competition made the season exciting for all who participated. Several injuries hampered some teams - notably the ju- niors. The season went down to the final game, in which the senior team captained by Bob Factor beat a rough junior team captained by Chris Lopienski. The senior glory was nipped the following week when they lost to the aging Faculty All-Stars 38-36. Intramurals provide an opportunity to participate in organized sports on a non-Interscholastic level to any student interested. 129
