The “B” squad finished the basketball season with a record of 4-11. The team was led in scoring this year by Most Valuable Player, Jeff Anderson, who averaged almost 10 points per game and was also the leading rebounder with 7 pts. a game. Todd DeVries, was the team’s Most Improved Player over the year as his hustle and determination often fired the team up when we needed it most. Randy Pe- terson led the team in steals and played very tough defense. Coach Woolery commented “The team improved immensely over the year and several of these ball players are now ready to fill the shoes of the varsity members left by our seniors. Their hustle and desire will help them as they move up to varsity basketball. All the players on this team will help keep a good basketball tradition going in Elkton.’’ Bill Lynn seems overpowered. 29
