Successful Encounters Success, which had evaded the Boys' junior Varsity Basketball team for years, was not to be denied to the 1980-81 team. At the end of the season, they posted four- teen wins and eight losses. lnthepast,the1uniorVar- sity program may have lacked prestige, but this year's team cultivated the admiration of students and teachers alike. The team practiced every af- ternoon to master the techniques of basketball. Coach Bruce Peters, in his first year at East Bay, helped to bring about a total change in attitude. This was exemplified by Top right: M. Fletcher prepared to shoot. Middle left: Coach Peters talked at a pep rally. Middle right: M. Fletcher sunk a free throw. Bottom left: L.

Young fired a jump shot over an opponents out-stretched hands. 204fSports: Boys' IV Basketball the enthusiastic quote taken from Coach Peters: Every member of the team was important to our success. The biggest asset to the team was Maury Stevens. Lloyd Young was the point guard, he han- dled the ball well, and ran the offense for us. Glen Ellenwood was the leading rebounder. He did not start the first few games, but improved tremendously to be strong in the last fifteen games. Robert Davis, the center, was also a key to the team's success. Mike Laz- zell, the only freshman starter, was a great ball handler and defense player. He also sank clutch free throws in the last few winning games. The rest of the team members were very important to the team's success. Skip Muench and Mike Lazzell will be returning next year, and I hope they will be team leaders.0!0' On December 12, as the clock ticked into overtime, the tie between King and East Bay had not been broken. When Maury Stevens made a basket, East Bay was declared the winner with a score of 79-77. Coach Peters went over game plans before each match so that each player knew exactly what was ex- pected of him. The spirit and enthusiasm that characterized the players, along with the guidance provided by Coach Peters, enabled the team to have a record season. --.if 7 .-.' . -.--.-ii-tsf fl '--i--s s -' ' W cs: of -s.- 'sss S . .--s--st .... --P ill ssss 'W 's ' titti 'tt7 fff'Qffgs. . t-.. .ffl . ....--- iii- -of E gl .A 5 k .. ..1'. f 7--11.4K . .,.. ...-.. .- S 1 . .
