sta the 0 It's great to have a set of gold balls! . . . Are you proud of us? . . . It feels so good to be 31. I wanted to win and everything turned out great! These quotes could only have been made' by the guys who played for the best high school basketball team in Montana, the Bozeman Hawks. The Hawks started their climb to the No. One position with a 13-game winning streak. Only once during the season did they fall from that position in the polls. Almost every team has its big men and its little men. Naturally, our big man was Les Craft. At the beginning of the season Les seemed a little worried about letting down the high expectations of the fans and college scouts. But with a height of 6-10 and the movement of a little man, Les oouldn't let anyone down. Les set two new school reoords in making 189 field goals and by having a 56.93 field goal percentage. The little man fthe little streak J was Doyle Stuckey. Doyle was playing as a junior in the 1978 state tourn- ament against Butte when he picked up the name Dangerous Doyle from the sports writers covering the game. At 5-10 Doyle lived up to his nickname by playing equally mean offensive and defensive games. Many people felt Mike Pierre's game was defense. All season Mike was denying his opponents a shot. When they did succeed in shooting, Mike prevented the ball from hitting the basket. Mike won the team's Most Improved Award for the season. Mickey York or Mr. Consistent, never seemed to be in a slump on defense or offense. Coach McKethen felt that both Mickey and Les could play major college basketball and that many colleges were missing the boat with Mickey. Coach McKethen, along with several oonference coaches, felt the Hawks had one of the strongest benches in the state. Heading it up was Todd Peter- son and Brad Nason. Todd came off the bench 23 out of 25 games and produced some remarkable outside shooting. Brad's job was to give Les a rest, but Brad played consistently tough basketball and used a lot of hustle. We're No 1!133

Golf is a great game no matter how you slice it Slice! Hook! Shank? Chuck! Hack! Sound pretty violent? Actually, they are words used to describe undesirable golf shots. By starting practice right after school everyday and keeping at' it until the sun goes down, this year's golf team was able to smooth out their shots, What started out to be an inexperien- ced team, was soon turned into one of the most improved teams in recent years. From the time practice started until a week before the state tourn ament, each golfer had knocked 5 to 15 shots off his score The season turned out to be a lot of fun and ended with both boys' and girls' teams placing 10th at state 1 ,- You mean I have to hit over that? Mickey Speck tests his touch by hitting the green from behind the sand trap Kevin Clare smoothes out his swing during practice at Riverside
