FIGHTING FOR A TIP, the Spartan's big man Mark Ferguson out jumps his Bellmont oppo- l nent. BRINGING THE BALL DOWN, one of Home- stead's senior guards, Terry Matthews, had 44 V assists along with 17 steals. 'Sus 3 l In the big games, win or lose, our boys never gave up. said Coach Neal McKeeman, whose Spartans finished the ,76-77 season 8-13, 5-4 in the conference. The team's strength was their defense. They worked together to keep the games close. Senior Jeff Dalman led the team in steals with 50. Coach McKeeman felt Dalman was one of the team's leaders for his ability to get the team going. Rebounds were dominated by senior Mark Ferguson with 111 defensive rebounds and 175 total rebounds. Ferguson had a 14.8 scoring average and 311 total points for the year. Junior Tracy Price was the leading scorer with a 15.9 scoring average and 333 total points for the season. He also led in a assists with 59 for.the year. He was 81? from the free throw line, which was second best on the team. He was a major factor in the Spartan offense this year. Sophomore Andy Vogel was the Spartans' best charity shooter with an 8476 average. Vogel had 127 total rebounds, which were mostly defensive grabs. Another playmaker was senior Terry Matthews at guard. He had 17 steals for the year, which helped turn the momentum of the games. Seniors John Taylor and Brian Geeting came off the bench to help the Spartan effort. Taylor was a rebounder and good defensive player while Geeting's hustle helped get the offense pumped up. The roundballers top performance of the year was against DeKalb. Coach McKeeman felt that the Spartans second half rally was the best half of basketball they had all year. The Spartans overcame DeKalb 60-59. Their biggest trouble was the lack of depth. They didn,t have much to fall back on when they got in foul trouble. The seniors met the challenge and worked hard, and I hope the underclassmen can do the same , said the first year head Coach McKeeman, whose 'Indiana' type offense is steadily improving every year.
