the thrill of the c® Varsity Basketball Ice, Ice, Ice. These words were constantly chanted by an energetic crowd during freethrow shots at boys varsity basketball games. We say it be- cause of the iceman on the movie Top Gun. He did well under pressure, and we want our guys to do well under the pressure of the freethrow, said Junior Steve Thompson. En route to the state playoffs, the flashy Senator squad breezed through the first half, capturing victories over the North ' s top rat- ed teams; S. Tahoe and Hug proved to be mere stepping stones for the Senators ' unblem- ished first half. The team suffered three losses in the second half of the season. They lost a 60-56 dog fight to the Reno Huskies on Husky territory. The second loss was a back and forth battle against the South Ta- hoe Vikings, which ended in a gutwrenching score of 52-50. The biggest upset of the year was against the McQueen Lancers. The game ended on a sour note. A 59-58 loss, knocked the Senators out of first place and they glided into a smooth sec- ond place finish in conference. Not taking first was a let down, but we will take State and that ' s what counts, said Senior Ray Oster. Lighting up the boards was what senior transfers Mike Jovicich, Jim Watah, and Daryel Wayne seemed to be best at. They all three came to the Senator squad to play se- rious basketball. ' ' We wouldn ' t be where we are without them. We were real fortunate to have them, said Coach Padgett. All and all we had a suc- cessful season with an unself- ish and experienced team, said Coach Padget. by Liz Willis BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL: Front Rou: John Eck, Carlos Mendeguia, Ryan Brust.
