The Freshman basketball team was the training ground for future Woodmen stars. Both the A and B team met with success as they battled the boards in reg- ular season play. The players learned the Woodman system of 'in-your- face' defense and put together a winning offense. Both coaches Garry Steinhagen and Rick McClurg were pleased with the growth the teams made during the season.

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.
