Santa Maria RECORD: 6-12 Strong victories Round out year Putting some life into what was otherwise a disap- pointing season, the iunior varsity basketball squad rolled to decisive victories in its final two contests to round out the season with a 6-12 record. The iayvees combined all their best talents to form a cohesive unit to finish the year with a 50-41 vic- tory over Lompoc, ond a 68-58 decision over the Santa Maria iunior varsity. Forward Tim Vivian played his finest game of the year to lead the squad over Lompoc. Vivian poured through 16 points and along with Dallas Britton con- trolled the boards for the Conquistadores. Gary Facer added 13 points, and guard Al Kitching scored 11 in the victory. Vivian's twin brother Kim took over in the final game as he ripped for 20 points to spark the con- quest of Santa Maria. Britton and Morris Henson contributed to the win with 12 and 10 paints, re- spectively. If the final surge at the end of the season is any indication, the iunior varsity will be sending some capable talent to the varsity squad for its 1968-69 campaign.
