Bee Basketha Roundballers Shoot Successful Second Amid heavy traffic, Jeff Holly racks up another two points for the Falcon Bees. A iation ' .s Bcc Basketball team finished second in the Pioneer League. Leading the Bees were Norm Page, with a 19.4 scoring average, and Jeff Holly, who finished first in rebounding and second in scor- ing. Steve Strahm also played a major part in both scoring and rebounding. One of the most important wins was the young Falcons ' 73 to 71 victory over Palos Verdes. This game assured Aviation ' s second place position. As a unit the Bees played hard, but the team was young. The starting line-up consisted of two freshmen, two sophomores, and one junior. There was still much room left for improvement. Bee player Steve Sirahm attempts to tip the rebound to teammate Jeff Holly. I It.rs .,rc (knrclini;, B. Hooper, R. Ja. U.i,,.

The ' 6:30 Creu ' JV Dribblers Finish Second in Competition In spite of an occasional lacl; of teamwork and only fair defense, the JV cagcrs tied for the Pioneer Lcaojue ' s second spot. Stronc; points for the Varsity hopefuls were rebounding, shooting, and all-around hustle. The quick hands and scoring talents of Rick Kiser and Chuck Kimber contributed to the JV s successful season. While Kimber rebounded, blocked opponent ' s shots, and scored from under the basket, Kiser stole balls, passed, and sank outside shots. Nearly every member of the team showed Varsi- ty promise. Coach Ron Dinnel summed up the sea- son: Although the play was ragged at times, indi- vidual talent contributed greatly to the second- place finish. Up for grabs, JV cagers scramble under the basket for the rebound. Mike Ir ' ing jumps high against the blocking of a Lawndale op- ponent to add two points toward the Falcon victory. ' 67- ' 68 Junior Varsity Basketball players are R. Kiser, A. Basso, J. Chinn, C. Kinnbcr, T. Carey, J. Fraser, R. Gray, D. Cava- naugh, T. Greenwood.
