Move! Forward, Jason Miller, attempts to complete a pass before getting blocked out in a home game against Monroe. Cagers Keep Pride Persistence Prevails In The End Blockout! Blockout! These words were part of the many instructions bellowed onto the court by freshman boys coach, Mr. Frank Treibar. Though their final record was not a victorious one, many good times were experienced on and off the court. Freshman player Nick Shea stated, ttThe bus rides home were the best part. Even after a loss there was always something funny to talk about. Though victories were scarce, excitement was always high. There were many tough teams who had to be dealt with, such as Whitmer, Toledo Catholic Central, and Ad- rian. Each one of these teams were given a hard fought battle all the way to the final buzzer. This wasn,t the only type of excitement experienced by the freshman cagers. Mark Tienven' came close to setting the record for the quickest ejection. In the game against Whitmer, Mark was ejected in five seconds for throwing an elbow. Bruce Craven gave his try at playing physical also. Dur- ing the Adrian game, while fighting for a loose ball, an Ad- rian player considerably larger than Bruce, ended up un- derneath him. Bruce showed his excitement by saying, ttOne minute I was fighting for a loose ball, and the next I had a guy pinnedV The win-loss record may show a sorrowful season, but the sportsmanship and new friendships gained made a more lasting impression than a winning season may have.

Cagers Fmish 10-2 Slow Start Does Not Stop Girls If a team starts off the season losing their first two games, you might think they would get down. But not the eighth grade girls basketball team! It just encouraged them to try harder, and they proved that by winning their last ten games. In previous years, there was one seventh and one eighth grade girls basketball team, but this year the two teams were combined. Although twelve seventh graders tried out, only Maureen Stamm made the team. ttThe season was fun, and everyone treated my equally, she com- mented. For this season, at least, the experiment of combining both the seventh and eighth grade girls into one basketball team proved to be very successful. Last season the combined record of two different teams was 4-6. This year, under the guidance of a new coach, James Posta, the team had a total record of 10-2. itThe team worked and learned together and we also won together, commented Coach Posta. Go For It!
