Freshman Squad The highlight of the young freshman basketball season was their win against Thatcher late in the season. Although the team lacked depth, they showed a lot of hustle and spirit. The team came very close to winning some very tough games against teams such as Class A Morenci and Lordsburg and the Animas JV squad. Under the leadership of Coach Kilmar- tin, these young players got in a lot of playing time and show promise for the Wildkat teams in the future.

JV Girls Basketball The season for the JV Girls was a very exciting one. Even though the girls didn’t finish the season with a winning re- cord, they gained great exper- ience and showed a lot of en- thusiasm. The girls never gave up during a tough game, but in- stead they fought with a great deal of desire. As the season progressed, the team members who showed the greatest potential were playing on the varsity squad. While this may have detracted from the JV program, it added depth to the Varsity team and was a bo- nus when the Lady Kats were hurt by illness or foul trouble.

Varsity Baseball Has Slow Start The 1982 varsity baseball team had its share of ups and downs. With a strong prospective team, the Kats were dis- couraged by 8 losses before getting their first win. When they were able to get it together, however, the team had the distinction of being the first to defeat League-leading Benson, 4-1. Following the Benson win, the Kats were able over over each of the other B- East teams, except for Thatcher. The second Thatcher loss was a scare for the Eagles, as the Kats led until the final inning and lost with dignity, 3-2. Overall Duncan finished with a 4 and 12 record, with a 4 and 1 conference record. Raymond Bejarano’s performance on the mound was sufficient to gain him a spot on the All-Conference team. Sec- ond baseman Charles Hanson, batting .481, and catcher Randy Crum, batting .390, were selected to the 2nd team. Coach Rodriguez gets a little excited as dason crosses home plate in the top shot.
