Ul11Pklh UShBl'S There are many myths about today's pumpkin pushers, or basketball players. They are 11 feet, 7 inches tall, wear size 15 shoes, wander around with a zombie look in their eye, and when not on the basketball court, appear to have basketballs attached to each hand. The 1981 Bozeman Hawk basketball team proved that the old myths about pumpkin pushers are not necessarily true. With Mickey Speck's towering heighth of S-8 and 6-3 Steve Kirchhoff teaming for the high and low of the team, the Hawks proved to be a short team compared to their opponents. Proving that quality, not quantity is what counts, the Hawks overcome their height disadvantage with quickness and sure-shot shooting. Some say however, that the sp1r1t of the crowd lacked Many letters and comments were presented mvolvmg this subject Dispelllng this lack of spirit myth the stands were student filled during both divisionals and state cheering screaming and competing for dominance with other fans This proved to not only our peers but to other schools that WE LOVE OUR HAWKSV' 1 Ah schweet heart Coach Doug Fullerton does his impression of feelings toward the win against Billings West at dlVlSlOI13lS 3 Gatorade quench Senior Scott Arneson take a break to quench his fhlrSt 4 Hey, lm gonna run rings around you Senior Mickey Speck out manuevers his opponent 5 Hey, hey whata say Steve Kirchhoff seems to enjoy what he s doing 6 Pump lt Pom!

oopine It UP We can beat the Spartans but we can't beat the refs .... This small and seemingly innocent chant could well be heard throughout the University of Montana fieldhouse during Bozeman's second game of the state AA basketball tournament action. Although this game put a halt on the Hawk's chances to take the state title, they continued to play with the same enthusiasm as in previous games. According to Coach Doug Fullerton, with the caliber of ball the Hawks played during the entire season, they could have been legitimate state champions. Coach Fullerton felt seven senior players - Ken Gibson, Steve Kirchhoff, Mickey Speck, Scott Arneson, Rod Little, Ron Vyse and Don Pomeroy not only added enthusiasm but experience to the team. Viewing the up-coming team he will have, Coach Fullerton felt it is a team which will have to gain more experience, but their ability to work hard is a defmite asset. .W t Q- wewfiaw 'X -V-wr-r . nmlun g , mrtaumols . ,,. 4...
