Iaskmasters: subdue rivals 1 The Eagles have managed the feat of basketball stardom in just four short years. Yet amidst all the glory, the state champion- ship has still eluded those power-BB street fighters from Big Sky. The overall achievrnents of the boys in blue and gold are quite outstanding. From the first varsity squad to the 1983-84 team, the varsity has won 79 percent of its games. The 1983-84 squad kept that tradition alive by having the best year for boys' basketball ever.

The rest of the season for the team look- ed like nothing more than a paved road all the way to the state finals. The Eagles steam- rolled past their next twelve opponents, racking-up an impressive list of statistics in the process. The Eagles won the games by scores rang- ing from 15 to 40 points. Led by power for- ward KC. McGowan, the frontline, with an average heighth of 6'4 and the leadership of all the seniors, they were truly a powerhouse.
