Xe Q3 iff' JV Drops Clark at Buzzer The junior varsity team was all sopho- mores except for two juniors, Kelly Wade and Tom Wilkes but though young they worked well together as shown by their team record. The first Eldorado game turned out to be their most exciting because they learned how to pull together and function as a team and con- sequently took home a 77-69 win. For the crowd the Clark game was the most exciting. The game was almost even all the way to the end. Clark was ahead by one with less than five seconds on the clock. Bonanza brought the ball in and threw it up for a 40 foot prayer at the buzzer. The prayer worked and Bonanza won by one point. Von Alleman, the tallest man that played for Bonanza was shifted up to Varsity for tournament play. .. Add , JUNIOR VARSITY - Front row: Shane Robb, Mark Stevens, Kenny White, Esker Nolan.
