The boys varsity season was a time of indecision and frustration. The play- ers seemed jinxed with bad luck. First, they lost Coach Norman Bailey; then they lost senior, Da- vid Vincent, to a knee in- jury. The bad luck contin- ued throughout the season with the Grey- hounds winning a mere six games. Even with the score- board posting a lost, in a way the team was al- ways ahead. Team play- ers, such as Ronnie Knotts, center, Mike Olivio, for- ward, and Raymond Bray, forward, kept the opposi- tion from under the score- boards by averaging 25 rebounds a game. Quickness came in the package of point guards. Matt Dillon and Tom Spencer. Together they swiped eight steals a game from the opposing team, which opened a lot of doors for the fast break. Coming up next season to take the places vacat- ed by a mostly senior squad is a group of inex- perienced junior high players. Hustle! Hustle! Beating his opponent down the floor against Notre Dame, Matt Dillon shows his speed as point guard. 23
