Central, Tinora, Fremont, and Antwerp, in which the team scored 27 points in one six- minute quarter. Commenting on the season, Coach Caris said, ■ ' Our steady improvement over the season is a tribute to these young men. They worked very hard and had excellent attitudes. At the start of the season, we were very green; but from Christmas on we were a very good basketball team. Everyone contributed to our success and I ' m very proud of all of them. ' ' The Freshmen team showed considerable improvement despite the major injuries to players Joe Best and Greg Frank. The team also showed an efficient amount of talent ti all spectators. They lost tough games but still shot fairly good from outside as well as under the basket. They played mostly a zone defense, usually a 1-2- 2. The team advanced into the semi-finals of tourney by edging out Hilltop in OT, but were defeated by Pettisville in the following game. The season was fairly successful and Coach Peugeot feels proud of the accomplishments. FRESHMEN BASKETBALL Freshmen Improve Throughout Season % ■ l ' 4a ' f 1 44 1 54 1 .

BOMBER BASEBALL Sectional Champs The Edon Bombers Baseball Team had a complete turn around in 1977 from 1976. The Bombers posted a 9-5 record while winning their Sectional Tournament. The ball club was made up of all underclassmen with only one senior. The team was led in pitching by Junior, Curt Stantz, and Sophomore, Lyle Held, while the leading hitters were Junior, Gary Bowling and Sophomore, Jack Stantz. The most important factor on the ball club was that it was an entire team effort by every individual on the team. Different players on the club came up with the big play or the big hit when it was needed to carry the team to victory. The future looks bright for Edon Baseball with all the returning players for next year and the development of the reserve team that came on strong during the season.
