Mr. Gary Potter, fresh- man green coach, said, I was fortunate to work with a very fine group of young men. Not only did they have talent, but they were hard working and a very positive group to work with. Alan Wiseman, freshman gold coach, said All four- teen players were some of the best young men that I have ever had on a basket- ball team. Next year as sophomores the gold and green teams together should make a very fine team. Gold Opponent 60-58 Cascade 55-45 Senior Blue 1 51-291 Beckman A .70-22. Walter! Q Blu? .Q .... .. , .

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.

Stick 'Ern! Three To State by Rich Curiel Ir. Three seniors made state qualification this year and are as follows: Dennis Debolt, 185 lbs. Dale Bran- del, 145 lbs. and Kurt Horch, heavyweight. Debolt and Brandel were also district champions. Other district placers were Kurt Horch, 2nd place, Ieff Stahr, 3rd place, and Greg Gottschalk, 3rd place. The state qualifiers were all stopped in the first round of competition. Varsity coach Dan Dun- ham said, I wanted to have a 60'7n dual meet winning season, finish in the top three of all tournaments, finish in the upper three in the MVC, and have two or three individual state place winners. I thought our season was similar to what I expected. Dennis Debolt, Dale Brandel, Scott Wilm- ing, and Dean Esser lead the team as squad-captains in a 4-8 season. Dunham said that injuries played a big part in hindering their performance. Especially Brad Langan, two time letter winner, who couldn't participate this year. Debolt commented, We had a good season consider- ing that we had a lot of injuries and lost a key wrestler because of them. Dunham thought that the 23-30 loss to Wahlert was their best effort, because it was a tough meet and everyone tried to wrestle to their full potential. He also thought the team greatly improved during the course of the season with their wrestling techniques. Esser said, I thought the team gave a good effort once they decided we could beat people. Then we wrestled good against the better schools. . 'flirt-iv . . 3,5 ,Q e.,4,,,,M Q., gmt 1 F Nana' ' m :,,, ., . ' 21 Assistant coach Bill I-Iuerter gets in position to study the meet.
