The Capital gym sits quiet- ly now, serene. Little goes on in there except an occas- sional Sophomore P.E. class. And yet, but a few months ago, the hallowed walls quiv- ered from the screaming fans, chanting cheerleaders, hysterical coaches, and blar- ing music trom the pep band. The air still carries faint traces of popcorn, soda and that omnipresent odor of twenty-two years of sweat. To the players, however, the entire scene congeals into one mass of General chaos. The guy's Varsity bas- ketball season also could be considered with that cate- gory, as it masses itself in the minds ot players and fans, but then again, perhaps things went a bit deeper than that. The season did reveal its share of highs and lows and Senior Eric St. Michell said, 'We played better as a VA -Q43 team as the season pro- gressed. The Eagles ended their season with an 7-l 3 re- cord as they played against tough teams from both Idaho and the surrounding states. The record did not reveal the many tough losses, especial- ly against Meridian as we took the Warriors into two overtimes before the team beat us 72-74. Our best showing . . .

AGILITY With great physical talent and body control, Dave Tueller t30l makes a tough shot look easy over a Boi- se defender. We fell to the Braves 68 to 79. Statistics! Statistics! Statistics! How can any- one enioy a good basket- ball game when his main concern is the recording of shots, rebounds, fur- V novers, and other game trivia? The answer is: very easily! One not only enioys the superficial flow of the game, but also the degree to which the mechanics of the game are executed. When a ballplayer per- forms below par, it is duly noted. When a ballplayer performs exceptionally well, it is also duly noted. During the halftime, statistics aid in the map- ping of second half strate- gies. They're also utilized by the coaching staff to better prepare the team for future competition. As a result, the reliability of the collected statistics must be extremely high. lf they were not, they would be of little use to the coaches, and could even ieopardize the future per- formance of an individual player. Being a Statistician is a weighty responsibility. Fortunately for Capital High School, we have three outstanding student statisticians: Doug Eager, Jason Eck, and Matt Mar- tinez. They have followed the Varsity basketball team from Pendleton to Carson City. They have kept for not only the Varsi- ty games, but also many J.V. and Sophomore games. Doug, Jason, and Matt have done a great iob for CapitaI's basketball program over the last two years. They deserve a big THANK YOU for their time and hard work.

Capital ended its regular season with seven wins and thirteen losses. The Varsity team was fifth in the S.l.C. conference with this record. We are now starting our District tournament. We will play the first game in the tournament. Our first opponent is Caldwell. We need to win two games to qualify for the state tour- nament. Capital and Cold- well split their regular sea- son games with each win- ning at home. I personally would like to thank those students, family, parents and com- munity people that sup- ported CapitaI's i986- l987 basketball teams. l38 Guy's Varsity Basketball OVER THE TOP Competing against the three Borah defenders, Mike Keller puts up a jumper to score two.
