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

With the beginning of the varsity basketball season came a couple of changes of members of the team. One major change was a new prac- tice time. The guys on the varsity all received 7th hour study halls, so they were able to practice every day from 2:15-4:15. Another change included new warm-ups for the team members, which they received mid-way through the season. The gray pants and multicolored blue striped shirts fired up both the team and the fans. The season was filled with big vi c- tories for the team. One of the sea- son ' s highlights was winning the championship game of the Martins- ville Holiday Tourney. Matt Hainje had an exceptionally fine day, scor- ing a total of 51 points in the two games the team played. The team, coaches and cheerleaders came home tired and happy, clutching a brand new trophy for the Knights ' collection. Other big games included an ex- citing last second win over Crown Point, and a victory over the McCut- cheon Mavericks. At the time McCutcheon was rated number one in the area. After the game, the fans and team members were confident that their team had a great chance of winning sectionals. The Knights set their goals high this year. Their dedication and hard work paid off with a winning season. With an attitude like that, how could they lose? 1: Coach Wolf directs the Knights in a scrim- mage game during one of their many long practices. 2: Looking on in anticipation, coaches Worland, Hoff and Wolf send their support to the Knights from the bench. 3: A block by Matt Kendrick shows the McCut- cheon Mavericks they ' ll have to fight to win. 4: While the opponent tries unsuccessfully to block his shot. Todd Morton strains for a basket. 5: Co-Captains Matt Hainje and Matt Kendrick let the crowd know the Knights are 1, after beating McCutcheon. 6: A good call is definitely a reason for Coach Wolf and the team to get rowdy. 7: Before the game, the winning spirit travels through the team during a pep talk from Coach Wolf. 8: Pat Haan drives in for a basket while Bryan Kerr assists him in warding off Covington Raiders. 9: Dur- ing a Varsity Basketball game, Bill Mellady, Dave Hartlip. and Bob Metzger keeps their eyes glued to the court in order to report the score and stats accurately. varsity basketball 201
