Varsity Basketball Varsity Boys Basketball: Front: Chris Barnhart. Ron Santos, Brad Jepson, Mike Blaine. Tom Lawless, Chris Dixon. Back: Coach Smith, Kurth Hargrave, Bill Tietgen, Jay Schaab, Roger Cannon. Bill Wilson, Shawn Ortgieson. Coach McPherson. The boys' basketball team had a tough season, but they were strong enough to make it through. I watched them pick themselves up after their losses only to put forth a greater effort. I can hear the balls dribbling down the courts in their late night practices. They were triumphant in their quest to refine knowledge and skills. Under the direction of 2nd year Coach Glenn McPherson, the Dukes had control of the ball throughout the season. Follow- ing a slow start the Princeton Thanksgiving Tourney, Dixon hit the bulk of their schedule in stride. Highlights of the regular season included defeating arch rival Sterling twice and an emotional first victory of the season over Sycamore. As the Dukes headed into post-season play, being defeated in 5 of the last 6 games played was discouraging for the team. However, the team, which included Chris Dixon, Jay Schaab, Mike Blaine, Shawn Ortigiesen, and Brad Jepson rose to the occasion on March 2 and captured 2nd place at the regional championships. Showing a lot of intensity and enthusiasm during the season, the Dukes proved themselves and closed with a record of 7-19. Princeton Tourney — 1-2 Mendota 42-44 Sycamore 76-51 Rock Falls 59-58 59-60 Sterling 65-54 Kewanee 70-75 St. Charles 60-65 Pekin Tourney 0-2 Sterling 61-39 Hall 47-66 60-42 Newman 49-81 Princeton 44-46 47-21 Moline 34-54 46-51 Rochelle 59-63 49-51 St. Edwards 63-57 Ottawa 42-54 Rock Falls 52-79 47-42 Geneseo 56-58 34-36 Streator 59-70 LP 46-63 Regionals 2nd Place 18 Above: Chris goes up the jump.

Performance Perfected “Those that kicked the most in my gym were the PomPons. They kicked both for entertainment and for saving lives. They were a great bunch of gals.” The 1986-87 pom pon squad began the football season with a generating start. Under the new guidance of Mrs. Kathy Smith, the girls had a great season. Twenty-two girls were chosen the preceding spring. Twelve juniors and ten seniors were selected. Each girl choreographed her own routine, then taught it to the squad. The season began with a routine to the beat of Stacey Que’s “Two of Hearts. The girls also opened the basketball season dressed as street gangsters rocking to the beat of Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name. The squad performed at wrestling matches, the pep assembly and the Christmas assembly, in which they ex- ecuted a routine from the 50’s. This routine also had some favorite guys from D.H.S. in it. In January the girls performed a Kick-A-Thon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Their routine consisted of one hundred various types of kicks, and the pledges went to save lives. Pom Pon Squad: 1st Row: Sue Larkin, Karey Kieth. 2nd Row: Diane Austin, Ellen Brown. Midge Magdich. 3rd Row: Paula Snyder.
