We outplayed six out of the nine opponents that we played this year. We couldn’t get it across the goal line. Next year our goal is to go after a 500 season. We have a tough schedule but I feel it can be done. We have a real good junior class coming back next year and they will be real good senior leaders. Dave Koozer, Terry McCoy, and Bob Hladik made all conference 1st team. Bob Hladik made 1st team All State. We had three players make our monster team, Clark Rasmussen, Bob Hladik, and Mike Smith.

Dave Koozer—1977 Second Team All State Basketball Considering the loss of eight seniors including four starters from the successful 19-5 team of the 75-76 Tigers, Fairmont still showed the poise and winning spirit of the last two state rated teams that Fairmont has claimed. Disappointing moments of the season were the first night loss to Lawrence in the Pioneer con- ference tournament and the semifinal loss to Marquette in the District tournament. The highlight of the season was the Tigers winning the Pioneer Conference Season Championship Plaque. The season ended with the Tigers final record being 13 wins and 6 losses. Dave Koozer was chosen to the Pioneer All Conference 1st Team and to the All State 2nd Team. Clark Rasmussen was selected honorable mention all conference.
