Unity Captures Wins Wins came easier and more often when the varsity basketball team started playing as a team. December saw only two wins and three losses. By January, three seniors and one junior quit the team due to dissension with Coach Reese. Then the remaining four seniors and Coach Reese inspired the team to its' longest winning streak ever. The four-game winning streak included wins over two of the toughest schools in the division, Clark and Las Vegas. Kirk Speelman C6'4 J played center for the team since he had the team's highest leap from a standing position. Trent Scarlet C6'5 J was a key forward averaging 11 points per game and being high scorer in seven games. In February Von Alleman was moved up from JV and added his 6'7 height to improve the team's rebounding capa- bilities. This year's strategy was a basic run- ning game. lmprovement during the season in passing, setting up plays, and rebounding helped the team's win- loss ratio. After placing fourth in the Carson City Tournament and fifth in the December Bonanza Invitational Tour- nament, the team entered the Zone Tournament on February 27. 4 Senior Kirk Speelman makes a fast break and slams against Rancho. Y Veteran,Keith Brantley has been on the varsity squad since Bonanza has opened.

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.
