Lack of height kills Ace hopes The varsity basketball season was a slow and disappointing one for Coach Dick Schumacher and his var- sity Aces. Due to an unfortunate lack of height and experience so vitally essential to the sport, East attempted to recapture traces of its past glory by charging out onto the court and show- ing their rivals who was number one. But there, in reality, they only manag- ed to succeed twice. During their City League game against Carroll, the team fought an almost continuous neck and neck bat- tle with the Eagles. The confrontation dragged into overtime and finally resulted in a victory for the Aces by a slim margin of 46-45. Another triumph for the varisty oc- curred at the Coffeyville tournament in January, where they defeated ln- dependence, 72-50. Junior Dennis Schumacher also won the free throw contest in Coffeyville and was later named to the All City team as an honorable mention. Basketbaitfsscofeboard . 5331. a ,la - .S .J gggea- , .

Winning years to be tradition The 1980-81 soccer team con- sisted of numerous sophomores and juniors, many of whom had had much previous experience participating in the American Youth Soccer Organization. East began its season well, allow- ing only one goal to be scored in the first three games and managing to ac- cumulate 14 goals themselves in the process. A particularly rewarding victory for the kickers came when they played Heights in late April. The first half of the game was dominated by the Aces, but the second half was played more closely with each team scoring one goal a piece. East finally won the battle by a long shot of 6-1. Another great success for the soc- cer team was defeating Northwest by a score of 3-0. The season started off great with much work, commented team cap- tain Wes Jenkins. Jenkins also ex- pressed hope for the future when he concluded, The winning tradition should stay with East for many years to folIow. .efi ilfifiya , ij1i1f0f'iiff tsi GSE 4..i .ifzt Q-'LUX tris ifgigj' jgjjifiiigfgsigf!jQ Us et.t Q tti.'rst agfii-41 5faSJt?lgJ1Qrtflcfi.ift.

Coach Ed Southern accredited the JV's success to using a majority of sophomores...from good junior high school programs, which he believed made the difference. Southern also began to look towards the future after the team's last point was scored and the players put away their jerseys and shoes for the final time. The JV squad is ex- pected to highly benefit from the new recruits fresh out of the feeder junior high schools next year, two of which qualified and continued on to the City League Championship.
