They had the good fortune to have two sophomores leading the team with experience and expertise. The team was com- posed of guys who were willing to fight to the end and never give up. They had the ability and fire to give every team some good competition. Every win stood for an accomplished goal, or helped them set a new one. Win or lose, the Longhorn freshmen left their mark. They proved to be a great asset to our basektball pro- gram. Coach Pruett commented, They exceeded our expectations. For a first year basketball team, they proved tough enough to make a name for themselves and that they could have a good time while playing. SMOOTH MOVE!

When league play started, they began putting things together. They then put together a string of six straight victories to get off to a great start. Their biggest win was 65-52 over Yerington, who was pre- viously undefeated. Going into the rth quarter of the game, Battle Mountain was only up 47-46, but they outscored the Lions I8-6 to take the game. Their best asset was their deter- mination to play as a team. Despite a few conflicts, they accomplished their goal and ended the season as winners. Coach Dranginis commented, Many of these players should go on to help the varsity team next year. They all did al super job. -f ,. X533 MAKE THE EASY ONE: Ron Zumwalt tries for the easy 50 .lv boys b OOOOO b shot. .,.. ,,.. , . OUTSIDE SHOT: Mike Quintana finds himself open for the outside shot.
