REACHING up to the sky, Dave Young lets the ball iust float above the Meridian de- fender. HUSTLE going for the loose ball, John Hatton retrieves it and passes to his team- mate, Darin Dildine. The Junior Varsity bas- ketball team was com- prised ot thirteen players for the l986-87 year. The team gained valuable ex- perience for next season with a twenty game sched- ule and a District tourna- ment. During the course of the season, the Juniors dis- played a tough and ag- gressive defense as we held our opponents below fifty points several times. One of the many high- lights of the year was de- feating two A-4 varsity teams, Salmon River and New Meadows, to win a tournament held in New Meadows. Provided the opportuni- ties to develop the neces- sary basketball skills and game experience, next year's varsity team should be exciting to watch.

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.
