' jyisi r- o . l tphai, Barr Go. Rustle Pioneer Crown We ' re number one, we ' re number one, became a familiar chant as the ' 67- 68 basketball team went undefeated to sweep the Pioneer League Champion- ship and acquire a berth in the GIF playoffs. De- scribed as the best team to come out of A iation since 1960, the Falcons set a new school record of 26 wins and 3 losses. The impressi e 67- ' 68 sea.son got off to a slow start as the Falcons dropped two games in the Pa- cific Shores Tournament. Despite these losses the Varsity cagers went on to nail down the champion- ships of the Inglewood and Hawthorne Tournaments and a second place at Corona. Paul W ' estphal was voted outstanding player of each tournament, set- ting new scoring marks ex-erywherc he went. Also recei ing honors during the presea.son was Junior Carrick Barr, who was selected to the Hawthorne and Inglewood All-Tournament Teams. Coach Ken Brown called the arsitv cagers hard to beat. Although the Falcons had no big man, they did ha e size and jumping ability in W ' estphal, Barr and Coker. Guards Jeff Boyer and Sam Bunch added speed and hustle to the line-up.
