A X . g Neil Parkin Mr. Christine Captain 2 Head Coach Lightweight Basketball The lightweight basketball team, even though they finished the season with a three-won and,six-lost record, contributed a lot to making 1955 a successful year. Coach Mark Christine, commenting that the team was a sincere, hardworking group and a pleasure to coach , fielded a smoothly-knit team that worked very well on the court. In the opening game the Bellarmine club topped the 11 5's, 33-19, even though Captain Russ Hubbard tanked 8 points. In the next two games the Dolphins, now working smoothly, smothered their opponents. Captain Hubbard again scored 8 points to lead us to an easy victory against Hoover,,but in the game against Wilbur the team had to come from a. half-time tie to notch a 28-19 victory. ' Fremont measured the 115's by a 33-25 score, but the game was not a total loss as John Roberts and Neill Parkin emerged as good floor leaders and scorers. Against Bellarmine again, the team lost 44-27, but Bill Brown and Parkin showed promise. McKinley then squeeked past the Dolphins, 25-24, after the team faded in the stretch. ln the big game of the season, against Wilbur, the Dolphins put everything together at once and slaughtered the Warriors to the tune of 33-19, with Parkin leading sthe club. The spirit of the team helped win the Sportsmanship Trophy. Against Fremont, again, the Dolphins played their best game of the season according to Coach Christine, and even though Neill Parkin hit from all angles to score 16 points, the 115's surrendered finally and lost, 42-37. Marina came down from San Francisco and whipped the lightweights, 30-27, in the last game of 'the season. 5 5
