INTENSITY Coming down with the rebound, Eric St. Mi- chell relies onthe back-up of teammate Da- vid Tueller. . . .lump . . . against arch rival Borah as we wiped out the Lions 68-59. As the gym echoes with qui- et, the walls hold the memories of years of basketball games, won and lost. For the Sen- iors, there is the sentimental memory of their final year cheering for Capital as a student, and the Juniors and Sophomores prepare to carry on the Eagle tradition as upperclass- men. The sights and sounds of high school basketball will remain forever as fun, disap- pointment and basically, general chaos. POWER Leaping above the crowd, Tyler Clark hits a lay-up against Moscow.

Bret Smith, Kyle Cleverly, Greg Cassat, Matt Law- son, William Cowmey, and Tyler Clark are players up from last years Junior team. Eric St. Michell, Todd Michael, David Tueller, and Mike Keller are returning Varsity play- ers. Remaining team mem- bers, Jeff Farley, a transfer student from Orotino, lda- ho, and James Waddel who did not play his Junior year. 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.

i. 1 May Th est Men Win . . . on and off the court. Junior Varsity basketball was a time for development and growth. It was that final preparation to the big time, Varsity basketball. Develop- ment and growth was just what the J.V. team had done. Even though they may not have drawn the big crowds, like Varsity, they still played their hearts out every game for themselves and the school. This years team was led by Darin Dildine, Robert St. Michell, Aaron Dittman, and Mike Shaw. Our best aspect of the game was de- fense and in basketball, de- fense is the toughest part of the game to play, replied James Eidam. With tenacious defense the Capital J.V.'s played in the Meadows Val- ley tournament in Meadows Valley and came away with first place in the four team event. Then there were the soph- omore A's. They were the guys you saw when you came in to the varsity basket- ball games. Remember them? None of this big time stuff matters, though, to the Baby Eagles, all they cared about was improving their game and someday playing as Big Eagles. The Soph's were a team with exceptional talent. They were a good team not on the fact that they had good individual skills but because they worked as a team. Leading this team were Shane Jolley, Dave Young, Loron Olsen, and Gabriel Rosenvall. The way the J.V.'s and sophs played it looks like Capital has at least two sea- sons of good basketball ahead of it and hopefully many more.
