Eastern Cagers Record Winning Season A strong desire to win and an unselfish attitude displayed by members of the Eastern varsity basket- ball team helped to carry the Eagle cagers to a credit- able record for a Winning season. The 'sinexperienced sophomoresw of the l97l-1972 season were now juniors who could boast of additional height, weight, and skill to couple with a full year of varsity play, Such a combination gave the Eagles the impetus to open the season with a four game winning streak and to post a total record of 13-7. Coach Mike Claytonls team was always in conten- tion for a top spot in the conference race and finished the season in a tie with Ragsdale for third place. Eagle fans cannot help but speculate about the possibilities for success as this team, made up largely of underclassmen, begin competition in the 1973-1974 season as third-year varsity players. i Julius Harrelson takes advantage of a fast break as he drives in for an easy lay-up.
