l'52Z..,.. 'Winning isn't important' Spirited playing by the Junior Varsity basketball team was shown every game, despite the score on the board. This is because the team was under the coaching of Mr. Chuck Brewer. Winning isn't important, he would say, but doing your best, and holding your head up is what counts. Playing power houses is always discouraging, but when the boys played, it looked like they were in a battle. Despite brilliant efforts, the freshman often fell short of winning, and, short describes the whole team. Good effort was always shown by the team, but always being shorter proved to troublesome. The freshmen this year were coached by an alumni, Mike Estfan.

By the end of the season, making a complete turn-around, the team was a tough match for all opponents in conference play. Commenting on the improvement of the team, Coach Aguilera stated, We improved mainly on the basic skill of self-discipline on and off the court. Also, our skill level as a team improved. Comparing the team's performance at the end of the season to that at the beginning, Coach Aguilera emphasized, The team had a higher level of intensity along with the skill and desire to do the best we could. The team's performance when compared to that of the opposition was at the same level of play, but our opponents had been using these basic skills longer than we hadf' Coach Aguilera believed the team played best once they realized that quality of play was more important than out-comes or end-results.
