Co-Champion Warriors Crest ot Sixth in State e -t .: ?M lfutlmsiasm built up liefore the important game explodes in ri tu- multuous rom' of excitement ns the team hrealcs from the huddle. Avoiding an attempted snuff from behind, Kevin Keating drives skillfully through a tight Clowson defense for the lay-up shot. 146 Witli the majority of those who competed in last years post-season success returning to fill the ranks of the 68-69 Varsity, the unique union of desire and ability that had enabled them to shed the classification of a second rate team still prevailed. From the very outset of the schedule, the slashing Wlarriors found themselves alone on top of their desperate followers. Combining an awesome offensive thrust spearhead- ed by rXllfArea Don hlaeAloon and Steve lones with the devastating defense of hlilqe Biallas. Mike McGill and Bill llart, the Vllarriors sprang out to live straight vic- tories before being momentarily sidetracked by Austin. Regaining their poise and stamina, Rice again muscled their way over all oncoming foes including a major 74573 win over Catholic Central in a nerve-wraeking overtime period. Austin proved to be the Rice nemesis, and continued to jinx the league-leading Vvarriors by again cutting Riee's win streak short. More than capable of repeating the explosive show- ing in last seasons linal surge, the VVarriors shattered the opposition in defending their district title, but were aborted in their quest to retain thc regional throne by the overpowering squad from Pontiac Central, culminating in an abrupt halt of the successful season. Swiftly darting through the hole in the defense his opponent attempts to close, Don lllneflloon drives througlr for a lay-up. N . .fwmt .1 my-W -tf.- s--w--y-f-M- - sv--if -fs- Mfffss----wsm
