The record, as far as wins and losses, wasn't the most important thing. The benefit will come to the players when they get older. They have been taught a lot of basketball this year , stated 8th grade basketball coach, Mr. Denny Oswalt. Many skills were practiced and Coach Oswalt felt the team learned to work together. I feel that they learned, as 15 separate people to play as a team , he said. Guard, Brad Holmes commented, We practiced a lot on working together and being aware of where the ball was. The team agrees that the toughest opponent of the season was Whitmer Washington. They were a really good team that had a lot of skill , said forward, Darron Signs. What about the best game the team played? wThe best game we played was against Fremont Ross. We proved we really could be good when we tried. Brad said. Everyone was working hard at the game against Fremont Ross and that made it pretty exciting , stated Darron, Plus the fact that we won! Most of the team members were pretty much satis- Hed with the season. We did OK, but we could have played better and beat more teams. , Brad said. Coach Oswalt commented, They all worked hard, sometimes they got a little bit lazy and should have concentrated more, but we have done 8093 of what we wanted to do, so I was pretty much satisfied with the Seaon.

It was most exciting because theyive always been the toughest team and we beat them this year! , freshman David Harper said. This was one of the most rewarding years live ever had because everyone did improve so much and I think a lot of goals that we set for ourselves we were able to reach even though they didn't look possible to reach in the beginning of the season, Coach Bankowski stated. The best individual record of the season was Rob Brasel's 23-1 and the team broke the following school records: the most individual wins, most pins, most re- versals, most 2 point nearfalls.
