Freshmen Rebound After Slow Start After losing their first five games, the Freshmen players began to play the kind of basketball that they are capable of. The Freshmen Tigers recorded their first win of the season against the New Athens Yellow Jackets. From this point on, the young team played .500 basketball. The Freshmen could have had an even better season if some of the players had not been needed on the Junior Varsity squad. Another factor that kept the Freshmen from winning more games than they did, was that the team suffered from numerous injuries and cases of the flu Number 23. Mike Ryan, appears to be sleepwalking during this game. by many key players. The Freshmen Tigers’ season was ended by arch rival Columbia in the second round of the Cahokia Conference Freshman Tournament. The team was coached by Richard Bright.
