This years freshman basketball team began their season in spectac- ular fashion. Under the direction of Coach Mark Andrews, the young team won their first six games. Their first game was a thriller against the Benton Central Bisons. They had been behind for the first three quarters, but in the final sec- onds were able to pull off a win for the Knights. They proceeded to win their next five games, before being stopped by North Montgomery — a game which ended with a one point spread. After suffering a loss to rival Tecumseh the Knights again had a winning streak of three games. One of these games was against Wain- wright. The young team was able to hold them scoreless during the first quarter, and the opponents had only four points at the end of the half. The freshman suffered their third defeat in the hands of rival Tippeca- noe, but bounced right back to de- feat Twin Lakes by 29 points. The Knights had to wait until their eighth game before J.R. Porter, a transfer from Southwestern could play. The team played in a tourney this year at Western Boone, but failed to win their games. They ended the day in fourth place. This year the freshman guys gained valuable experience, but more importantly grew closer to- gether as a team. OPPOSITE TOP: Coach Mark Andrews dis- cusses a play with his team during a time out.

3 The Junior Varsity Basketball team was under the supervision of a new coach this year, former alumni Dave Worland. He received assis- tance from Robin Kerr, who was new to coaching this year, but wasn ' t new to CC, he too is an alumni. Practices were often spent with stress put on physical conditioning and defensive strategies. This plus a constant changing in the lineup helped to keep their opponents off guard. During practice each day, the fa- vorite scrimage of the B ' team was to play the frosh team. They seemed to enjoy trying to make the freshman look bad. The only thing they didn ' t like was the fact that this was often followed with a scrimage in which the JV team had to play the varsity. They didn ' t always find these games very enjoyable. One thing that the team is likely never to forget is the game against Gary West. A Gary West player had the ball, and as Dave Fitzgerald tried to block the shot the player from Gary jumped over Dave and slammed the ball through the rim. The JV team sponsored a tourney at CC this year. They played tough and ended the day as first place winners. The team worked hard this year and gave it their best when things got rough. They ' ve grown closer and have become a team that CC can be proud of. 1: Taking advantage of his opponent, Troy Kingma goes up for a layup. 2: Practice means precision, as Randy Strong takes a careful shot. 3: Before the game begins, Coach Worland explains the strategy to the Knights. 4: Junior Varsity Basketball Team: Cheerleaders; Mary MacDonald (captain), Bonnie Youart, Theresa Lux, Carrie Baker, Bob Smith, Troy Kingma, Tadd Riehle, Dave Fitzgerald, Randy Strong, Coach Robin Kerr, Dwayne Austin, Jean Pierre, Scott Behrndt, Jon Linder, Jeff Brooks, Thad Hainje, Coach Dave Worland 5: A trapped Thad Hainje comes to a quick halt. 6: Warming up before the game, Thad Hainje keeps his eye on the basket. 7: Finding an opening, Shawn Hamil- ton and Neil Klinker make a break for it. 8: Keeping an eye on the action, Dwane Austin and Tadd Riehle wait to go into the game. 9: Cutting off his opponent, Larry Butz keeps his arm held high. jv basketball 199
