Basketball The Brookings-Harbor High junior varsity, after losing many valuable players to the iniury-Iadened varsity, managed to play heads-up ball long enough to even their record with as many victories as setbacks. The team, although lacking experience, used exceptional speed and an over-abundant supply of height, along with good coaching, to upset many over-confident opponents.

It was an eventful season for the Bruins despite the fact that they won only five games, four in league play. There were a few bright spots in the season, the first of which was a win over highly-regarded Glide. Another shiny part of the year was when the Bruins won two games from Gold Beach and Pacific, both in league play. After a loss to Coquille, the Brookings five then beat Bandon. ln the third round of league play, the Bruins won their last game, against Pacific. Only lowly Pacific kept the Bruins from being the cellar dwellers. Coach Zak's charges were plagued by injuries and ineligibility, but he finally came up with twelve hard-working players. This was a building year for the coach, as he had only two graduating seniors, Ken Bonde and Jim Miller, on the squad. Zak was fortunate in having the Sunset Conference's leading scorer in Richard Olson. Olson was named to the All-League First Team. Ken Bonde, a six foot center, was placed on the All-League Second Team, and ran away with all the honors at the Basket- ball Banquet. Bonde received the Top Rebounding trophy, the Best Freethrow Percentage trophy, and also was elected to receive the Harrison Hale award.

follows. Little Bruins Gain Experience The Freshmen basketball team, although owning a disappointing record, proved to its supporters that Brookings-Harbor High School may have a team to cheer about in the future. The Frosh dropped more than one close game this year against strong competition, but with three years ot experience under their belts and considering natural ability and height, these boys could develop into strong contenders for the Sunset Conference Championship in T968-69.
