Accord- ing to Head Coach Jim Taylor, there was a larger turnout than in previous years which presented the problem of making cuts for the first time in CHS history. A loss to Bartlett early in the season slapped the team in the face , and consequently they realized that to be at the top would take a lot of hard work and dedication to basketball. The next week proved quite eventful as the team came back and annihilated second rate Kodiak 56-43. In a heated emotional game, CHS beat number one rated East with a 77-78 victory. This is one of the most dedi- cated teams I ' ve ever worked with, and are the highest achievers in terms of wins. The outlook for the rest of the season is optimistic if they (the team) play up to their capabilities, commented Coach Taylor. A trip to Seattle gave CHS much needed exposure to college talent scouts. It was a worthwhile trip for the team from the standpoint of playing well as a team against good competition and getting college exposure for the players. The people in Seattle now realize that we play high quality basketball in Alaska, concluded the coach. TOP: Counting down to the last seconds of a game, the scoreboard dis- plays the final points.
