1 6-5 record leads way Greenwood's Varsity basket- ball team established its best record in 10 years by finishing with a 16-5 season. Week after week the Woodmen could be seen hustling, playing tenacious defense, and using a lightning quick offense. As good as the season was, there were disappointments suf- fered by the squad. In the Holi- day Tourney, Center Grove knocked off the Woodmen in the first round. But come the Home- coming game, the Woodmen whipped the Trojans by 13 points. As for the Sectional, all that can be said is it must be meant to be. Indian Creek pulled off another 'garbage' win over the Woodmen, 71-70 in the first round. Dave Vandergriff led the team in scoring with 16.0 point aver- age per game. Doug Laura fol- lowed with an average of 13.7. Both were named All-County. Tom Williams dominated the rebounds throughout the year and finished with a total of 212, also making All-County. Dave Vandergriff also led in assists with 104. Coach Gary Vandergriff, named Coach of the Year, was obviously pleased with the sea- son and said, The main thing is that every member of the team contributed a lot to our season. The season not only increased spirit in the school, but also got the community involved. By D. Hill TOP: Doug Laura goes over two opponents to score.

R eserves go 18-Z overall The Reserve basketball team finished their season with a fan- tastic record of 18-2. Game after game, the young Woodmen stunned opponents with an unselfish and tenacious style of play much like that of the varsity squad. The two losses were disap- pointments for Coach Keaney Sloop and his troops. The first setback came against Indian Creek in the first round of the Reserve Tourney, but the team bounced back later in the season and avenged the loss. The sec- ond loss came at the end of the season when the Woodmen proved they could play with the Marion County Champs from Decatur Central. The Woodmen played to three overtimes before losing. Rick McLeod led the bal- anced team in scoring by averag- ing 10.4 points per game. He was followed by freshman standout Jay Smith who averaged 8.9 and Andy Miller who threw in 8.1 points per game. McLeod also led in rebounds with 131 while Miller followed with 123. Jay Calvert was the leader with 59 assists.
