N When You Least Expect It A new coach, only one returning starter and an offense new to all the players. Things didn't look as good as the past two years. But the team had talent and optimism. All they had to do was make believers out of the crowd. A trip to Missoula for the divisional tourney was all it took to get the crowd excited. The Hawks went in tied for fourth with Butte in conference play, but in the first round literally blew Butte off the floor. By doing so, they faced number one rated Missoula Sentinel the next night and much to everyone's surprise, pulled off a 57-49 upset victory. This put them in the championship game with Anaconda and Rob Hurley. The lead shifted throughout the game but when time ran out, Bozeman was in second place - by one point. First year coach Pat O'Connor came to Bozeman from Glendive with an impressive record and one Class A state title on his record. He accredited this to good players. The only returning starter was the tallest member oft he team - John Emory. He was joined by four new players who moved up from the .IV's and took charge. Eric Deeg and Tony Stiff were the forwards while .Ion Schroeder and Mickey Speck were the guards. Coach O'Connor used his bench quite often and Ron Vyse, Don Pomeroy, Scott Arneson and Steve Little saw a considerable amount of action. 921 Boy's Basketball Did you see that shot I made?
