When asked his feelings about the 84-85 Freshman team, reshman (Michael Clark answered Although I would have liked win a few more games, it was fun The team challenged me to do better, since I was on the 8th grade B-team last year, Clark also added, In eighth grade, the coaches didn ' t push us nearly as hard. Actually, I don ' t feel I improved much last year. This year, however, I learned the correct way to shoot, rebound, etc. Dave Flowers felt the coaches taught us the game the best they could. When I first started I could hit about 20 out of 100 free throws, now I am capable of shooting 64 out of 100. The entire freshman team and Coach Drake are looking forward to next year ' s season Boys Basketball 57
