Looking for a hole in the tough Goshen defense, senior Ryan Sumrak holds it high. Concord won the game 42-39. Racing down the court are sophomores Jamar John- son and Bill Mutch, the diaper duo. While inexpe- rienced, both young men provided outstanding con- tributions to the team and started on several occasions. Leaping for a three-pointer, senior Steve Larkin en- tertains the crowd. Larkin scored 7 points and had 5 assists at the Goshen game. W ,,,, ., .,,, , , ,, . . -W .. . ,.,!.L,,s.?E , Q . i 5. . WEWEWWWZZRJZW Shawn Kemp kicked the season off by igning a national letter of intent to play ,basketball for the University of Kentucky. A gym renovation was completed be- gfore the season which allowed 680 more rfans the chance to see Concord in action. But even with the renovation, a lot of fans, home and visitor alike, still couldn't get .ltickets to the games. Before the game against Oregon-Davis, which had the states No. 6 rating, tickets were being scalped for as much as S75 a seat. This proved that a ticket to a home ,Concord basketball game was as tough a ticket as any in Elkhart. Even tickets to away Concord basket- ball games proved to be a tough task. At a game against South Bend St. Joe in the 5 5 I was just glad I was able to share my feelings about our Constitution with others. 1 l Notre Dame ACC, some 2,000 fans were turned away from the booth. The 10,000 fans inside watched Concord defeat the state's No, 6 team, moving themselves up to No. 2 in the rankings. The fans who could get tickets to the home games showed more support than ever before. All the players agreed that the crowd noise inspired them to play better and helped to intimidate opposing teams. Although the team would graduate sev- en seniors, three of whom were starters, Concords' basketball future should re- main bright with the return of sophomores Bill Mutch and Jamar Johnson, who were also both starters. - BY TROY BARBER Varsity Basketball
