JV, Frosh please coaches Winning the Southern Wells tourney, according to Head Freshman Coach Norm Fogwell, showed them how to win and how much fun winning can be. The Teddybears opened the tourney on a positive note by handing the Delta fresh- men a 58-51 loss during the opening game for all teams. They advanced to the finals of the four-team tourney, where they soundly defeated the Wes-Del Warriors, 60-17, to capture the title. This had to be the highlight of the year, stated Coach Fogwell. On the year, starting guard Bill Davis led the A-team scoring with an 11.9 aver- age. Center Robbie Bratton led in re- bounding with a 6.2 average. Guards Jack Norton and Eric Morris led the team in steals and assists with 19 and 18, respec- tively. Dennis Ramseyer led the B squad with a 7.3 scoring average. The team had good balance, but needed more consisten- cy, commented Coach Fogwell. Every- one had one or two good games, but every- one had one or two bad games, too. The Teddybears ended their season at 5- 1 1 . There were two games cancelled be- cause of weather. The Junior Varsity had a 10-10 season. Dave Spencer led the team in scoring and free throws with 202 and 34, respectively. Dave Dickey led the team in rebounding and assists. Spencer led the team in steals also. The sophomores last year as fresh- men were 1-11, and we talked about that a lot before the season, stated Head Coach Rick Clark. We beat most of the teams we lost to last year. Although there is no reserve conference championship, had there been, the Cubs would have tied for first place. They fin- ished 5-1. That was one of our goals at the beginning of the season, stated Coach Clark, along with a winning season. It wasn ' t a winning season, but it wasn ' t a losing season either. I wasn ' t disappointed at all. I thought they played pretty well, smiled Coach Clark. Chancing a shot to tie the score nitb 5:57 left is junior Dave Spencer. Spencer led JV scoring mtb a high of 202 and also led in free tbrOHS. Concentration is on the mind of freshman Jackie Norton at the free t jroK- line, as John Tnibell stands behind to give him support. JV. Freshmafl Basketball 169
