SLAM! Reaching Goals by Renae Reardon We felt we had a chance to finish in the top three in the conference if we played very well. We knew Wah- lert and Kennedy were loaded with talent, so 3rd place conference finish would be a good year, said head coach Dennis Ger- aghty, who was assisted by Harry Robbins. The Mustangs accom- plished their goal by finish- ing 3rd in the conference with a 9-5 record. The team had three re- turning lettermen: seniors joe Paulsen and Bill Furry and junior Bob Derioun, all of who were named tri- captains. Ioe Paulsen led the scor- ing with 293 points for the season and an average of 15 points per game. Bob Der- ioun captured the most rebounds with a total of 175 for the season. Derioun made First Team All Conference fthe only junior in the school's history to do sol and First Team All City. Paulsen made Second Team All Conference and also First Team All City. We felt we progressed throughout the season as we should have, said Ger- aghty. Of course we were disappointed to lose the first district game to West Dubuque but they had a 16-4 record and were a good team. Their prayer shot at the buzzer was difficult to accept. We feel the program has taken great strides in three years. Our 3rd place confer- ence record is the second best in the school's history, Geraghty said. With three good lettermen returning next year, juniors Bob Der- ioun, Russ Rubie, and Mark Gassman, we have a good nucleus to build on. 1-i,W,e,, , 6 IC at I 46 11 Soaring into the air to sink a 21 Bob Derouin, '84, awaits to block jump shot is Bob Derouin '84. his opponent's throw.

Deep Bench, Inside Game by Barbara Meyer We were a very strong team. No one gave up, said Tim Noel of the sophomore boys' basketball team. Led by Coach Don Koppes, the team finished their season with a record of 6 wins and 12 losses - they were 5 and 9 in the conference. Most of the games were close and com- petitive, whether they won or lost. Mark Phillips, center, said, Earlier in the season we had a lot of turnovers in the latter part of the game, which cost us a few close ball games. I think if we work on this area of our game we will do much better in the future. Phillips was the leading scorer in the conference this year, while Kelly Mudge, forward, was also ranked among the top ten. This added advantage of the team gives a good outlook for the future, along with several other extras. Two of these are a deep bench and strong inside shooting. Our strongest points are the inside game and a deep bench. I feel we do have the qualities to have a winning varsity team, said Eric Bredeson, guard. Coach Koppes felt the outside shooting of the guards probably wasn't as consistent as it should have been, but as a whole they did a very good job of moving the ball. This year's team's strong point was their inside shooting by taller players, whereas last year the strong point was outside shooting by guards. The guards played good defense all year, though, and did an excellent job of passing the ball inside. The team did have a good season, much better than their record showed. The most points we lost by was 7. I think this shows that We have a lot of talent to be able to keep all our games close, said Darren Corson, guard. The team worked well together, and they're ready for next year. 11 Mark Phillips, '85, shows good styfe in an effort to get the ball to Eric Bredeson, '85.
