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. But the squad had a rude awakening dur- ing the final two games of the season.

Then only five days later the bounty hunter Spartans shot down the Eagles on a last-second desperation tip-in off of a missed shot at the buzzer. The bucket robbed the Eagles of a furious comeback, after the ice- cold team had trailed the entire game. But the two losses served as an inspiration for the hi-flying Eagles. The squad still held a comfortable three-game lead over the second-place Spartans in the western division and was still solidly ranked as the top squad order to f' the n W1 on o e loss the Eagles rivals Hellgate Great Falls, Butte and ranked teaml took nose- - as i btt th b ll int C M Flussello orient in the state tournament.
