A smaller team than in past mm- sons, the I ' JHJHi er i( n i l Ju- nior Varsity liaskelhall hail the desire to win, and often did. In prohahly the best game ot ihv season, the Lancers destroyed Pius X with outstanding shoot- ing and aggressi e team tie- fense. Coach lioh Kendon com- mented on the junior Varsity Team ' s p e r t o r m a n c e . Throughout the season, we shot yerv well, hut our major problem was our lack ot height. Many of the teams thai we playetl oulsi ed us, and as a result we were unable to get the rebounds that we needed. Because winning league titles I isn ' t eierything. this years ju- nior Varsity team was ery suc- cessful in their team effort ant! o erall posiiixe attitude. i ' ith the Angelus League baoniing TIAM Ml Mill US ! ., ,.l Ihli:.,.!.,.
