Expenence! Players Learn New Skills through a learning transition, said coach Frank Treibar. The team's record didnit show what they have learned. Coach Treibar said, My sixteen boys took a huge step in the progress of their basketball skills The team played against teams that were tougher and more organized because of their advantage of time spent together. The important thing this year is that the kids came out of Community Ed basketball and became a team, stated Treibar. All the other teams had the advantage of playing together years before this, so that's why this being the first year together was so vital. Co-captain, guard, Matt Oswald said, I had fun and found out what real competition was. Bill Fortuna one of the centers stated, I feel organized basketball helped me much more than another year in Commu- nity Ed would have. The situation of having to do things other than making your own decisions was a real change, stated Bruce Craven. Fortuna also said, che team was at first awed by disciplined teams but then we became more confident. 6 oThe young 8th grade basketball team went ; a front Row: Bill Kinney.

As the only Freshmen team in the tournament, they did amazingly well by winning three of their six games. HI think we did really well. We finally worked together as a team, stated Jenny Bagrowski. Volleyball is a team sport and the team knew to be the best they had to work well together. They had to communicate and watch the ball constantly, knowing it could come their way. Encouraging and psyching other team mates was also just as important. There were seventeen Freshmen who made the squad. Trisha Stoner and Mary Linzie were picked as team captains. Beth Saunders commented, Trisha and Mary are really good players and show a lot of team spirit. Everyone knows no team is complete without a coach. Mona Shay, a former student at Bedford, gave the team experience they needed for their First year. Hi liked having a coach that's young because she can relate to us. Her support helped us a lot, stated Sara Spice. Coach Mona Shay commented, I think they over came their lack of experience but there is room for im- provement. All the girls put forth a lot of hard work. They practiced almost everyday and over Christmas Vaca- tion. uWe practiced mostly on our serving, stated Dawn Post.
