UM. Awesome is but one of the words that could be used to describe the Var- sity Basketball team this year. Out- standing and fantastic are others, but the most applicable would be - SUR- PRlSEllll At the beginning of the year, Coach Witt was faced with a team void of starters with the exception of Dan An- droff. But what an exception! He was one of the leading scorers on the team and was a natural leader because of his four years on the varsity squad. He was voted MVP in the Illinois State Classic. As for the rest of the Team? Well, they had a tremendously successful season and surprised and delighted us all by winning the Turkey Tournament at Griswold and the Illinois State Clas- sic at Normal. As icing on the victory cake, the Panthers were ranked thir- teenth in the state by the Associated Press. Aundra Holloway, one of the four seniors of the starting five, felt that the Panthers had an outstandingly success- ful season. He did not expect them to be so successful at first. Coach Witt has a lot of confidence in us this year and we did not let him down, the talented forward summed up. Danny Androff was Eisenhower's pride and joy when it came to making points. Pivot man Danny's goals were to break the school record, to go to State, and to make the Big 12 team. Coach Witt expects to have a good team next year. Many of his players will be returning, and he suspects that forward Ecl Carnine will be a driving force. We will have a good group for our next year's team, stated Coach Witt. Danny Androff set new school re- cord of 1271. The PANTHERAMA wishes Coach Witt good luck on his 1985- 1986 team. front:-I. Ellis, K. Schneider, M. Smith, D. Androff, A. Holloway, E. Carnine, K.
