Another important factor for the winning attitude possessed by the Panthers was the rebounding strength of our front line players. In conclusion, it has been a fun and exciting season, a season we all will hate to see end, but it was a season which has hrmly placed Benicia High School Basketball on the map of the better basketball programs in Solano County if not Northern California.

Fielding one of the best varsity basketball teams in the schoolls history, the Panthers have enjoyed a most successful season. ln posting a fine 6-2 preseason record, the varsity finished in 3rd place in the Rio Vista Tournament displaying excellent teamwork. The Panthers rose to great heights in sweeping three games in the North Tahoe Christmas Tournament in Tahoe City to capture the championship. Among the many standout performers for Benicia, Tom Knight and Vince Isom vvere selected to the All-Tournament Team, with Tom being selected as lVl.V.P, Part of the reason for Benicia's successful campaign lies in the experience and leadership of six key senior lettermen. Brian Parker, Russ lVlcl4eever, Tom Knight, Vince Isom, Terry Crackel, and Benjie Williams all played a slgnigicant role in this year's team concept. ln addition to the improved play of juniors, Darriclc Randolph and Phil Glson contributed greatly to the Panthers' drive toward the S.C.A,L. 1,3 P .Je g A '7,4 11 at 41 T., , l GO-Varsity Basketball
