Fledgling roundballers have mixed seasons |he JV basketball team slipped in a dismal record of 9-13. The record, however, was not as bad as at times it seemed for the team had many exciting moments. Most of the games were lost by only a few points. As the year progressed. Coach Willie Jackson ' s team showed much improvement. It was led by juniors, Ted Willett, Jim Zahn, and Tom Payne. The sophomore standouts were Greg Alvey, Tom Spencer and Mike Ryan. Expectations of a great basketball record for the frosh were held at the beginning of the season, but after losing the season open- er to archrival, St. X, the team began what appeared to be a long season. A winning surge at the end of the year established a winning record of 10-8. Things looked dim for the young Falcon team after losing 5 of their first 8 games which mcluded losses to St. X, DeSales, and Trin ty, traditional Catholic school rivals. Then, taking a 4-6 record into the game with P.R.P., they began rolling, winning their last 6 out of 8 games and dropp ing only 2 hard- fought battles against DeSales and St. X. They were sparked by these wins up to the final game - their defeat of Shawnee. O FAR RIGHT: JVer, Greg Alvey. puts one up over the head of a St. X defen- der.

As evidenced by the empty stands, Atherton fans were reluctant to travel to the Doss gym to play the Falcons. In a flurry of the action, center, Kevin Alexander, puts in a jumper from in under. Missed foul shots were part of the downfall of the attack against a fired-up Doss team. Bob Norris anxiously awaits the outcome of this free throw attempt. fc«jr VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM-1ST ROW: F.
