Life In The Fast Lane The varsity team was struck with misfortune. This year's basketball team seemed to carry a dark cloud over them, as many of their essential players were disa- bled at the beginning of the season. Larry Spain was out with the flu, Eric Murray had pneumonia, and Norm Lane could not play due to a foot injury. In addition, Mitch Evans was out much of the season with an injury to his leg and Darren Masin- gale, was on the bench with a broken hand. Darren Masin- gale's injury actually brought confidence and experience to the team that they had not had earlier. Because they were unsure of their skills, they relied on the tall senior. After he was hurt, they began to realize their own abilities. Coach Strohmayer com- mented What made it bear- able this season was that all the guys were good kids with good solid attitudes and they all got along with each oth- er. Strohmayer thought that Darren Masingale, Scott Anderson, Greg Da- vis, and Paul Wilburn were exceptional players. Overall, the team's greatest gain was learning the extent of their own abilities and unit- ing to accomplish their goals. i Xl . -Julie Schoelkopf Qiilfiilff' jf? 'i-...-.f-I f, 52 Basketball

Stand By Me J.V. girls withstood tough competition. Any of my players could start a game because they all had special talents, but worked to- gether strongly as a whole, stated Coach Passalaqua. When asked who was his most inspirational player he an- swered, Without a doubt, Stephanie Bredeson. She has a way of lifting anyone's spirit. Coach Passalaqua also com- mented that his most valuable player was Chris Friesen, but there wasn't any one person who could be called most im- proved, for the whole team had become better players. The J.V. team has certainly ex- pressed that they are indeed the mighty Falcons! -Jodi Dougan MW' ,fam QA, r - il' i 54 Girls Basketball X .
