FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM-Front row: Henderson, Ken Nielsen, Curt Craig, left See- Iohn Kapsal, Rick Parlett, Rick Detwiler, Rich katz, Dennis Collins . . . Back row: Gary Iudd, Bambauer . . . Second row: Bill Cheneuert, Dan lim Noon, Richard Raymond, Richard Keleman, Richard Iorgenson. The beginning cagers, though promising to be strong in the future, recorded a losing '67-'68 season due to a lack of experience. Inexperienced Freshmen Post 0-I7 Record Rick Bambauer C149 brings the ball down and attempt a fast break against Rincon. The iresh- Gary Iudd C521 gets itno position, as the irosh men were overpowered by the Rangers 80-42. Inexperience was the chief weakness of the frosh basketball team which tailed to record a Win for the season. Most of these boys didn't play ju- nior high ball, explained first-year Coach Buddy Doolen, but if they stick together in time they'll be tough and able to beat the teams they lost to this year. Rick Parlett and Gary Iudd were the individual leaders in scoring and re- bounding. Alan I-lock and Rick Ray- mond also showed promise for next year's Iunior Varsity team. 1 SCOREBOARD CHS Dec 20 Rincon Dec 25 Central Dec 40 Pueblo Dec 31 Tucson Ian. 28 Amphi Ian. 37 Douglas Ian. 26 Tucson Ian. 26 Amphi Ian. 37 Salpointe Ian. 36 Sunnyside Ian. 34 Douglas Ian. 22 Palo Verde Ian. 54 Pueblo Feb. 40 Salpointe Feb 40 Sunnyside Feb 29 Palo Verde I Feb. 42 Rincon

In defending its state championship title, the CHS varsity baseball team will rely almost completely on inex- perienced players. All-City third base- man Rick Valley is the only returning starter. Other lettermen who saw only limited action last year but on the starting lineup are Dale Borror, Dave Abendano, Charles Brooks, Rene Valenzuela and Bruce Maklin. Pitching, which has been a problem in past seasons, is again the major stumbling block of the diamondmen. According to varsity coach Cliff My- rick, sophomores Dave Reiblich and Iett Norris and senior Dave Wright will receive most of the hurling assignments this year. Although disappointed that the doubleheader scheduled for March 9 against Camelback and East had to be postponed due to rain, Myrick felt that this would give the team-mainly pitchers-a Week more to warmup for their game with Tucson.
