Boys' Basketball The 1986-87 Basketball sea- son brought high expectations for Coach Brian Glennon as he set foot into Hunterdon Central's head Varsity coaching position for the first time. With only four returning players with Varsity experience, Glennon had quite a task ahead of him - the task to regain the respectability of Hun- terdon Central's Baksetball pro- gram. Hunterdon Central has not had a winning season since 1981- 82, but it has changed this year with a regular season record of 12-9. Central also finished fifth for the season, along with being the only Boy's Basketball team to make the Midstate Conference in six years. Leading the way for this victorious season were Cap- tain Greg Bethard, Don Silverth- orne, Mark Soltis, all returning Varsity palyers, and Frank Ya- sunas. Although Bethard only completed the first half of the season due to a hand injury, but he added spark and control both offensively and defensively when he played. His inability to play hindered the line-up dramatical- ly, but senior Mike Connell filled Bethard's slot as the number one guard effectively. Central had three of the top ten scorers of Hunterdon Coun- ty, including Junior Mark Soltis laveraging 19.4 ppg and leading all scorers in Hunterdon Countyl, Don Silverthorne laveraging 13.9 ppgl, and Frank Yasunas laveraging 11.5 ppgl. Underneath, Central had Sen- iors Chris Gooditis and Bill Sierp who constantly dominted the boards and demonstrated great defensive skills against larger op- ponents. Depth was provided by Ju- niors Chris Sabosik, lwho saw much playing timel, Kevin An- derson, Steve Kanaby, and Jeff Vozzo who contributed to Cen- tral's success. Coach Brian Glennon has much to be accredited for. This season was just the beginning for Hunterdon Central's rebirth of the boys basketball program. 'L-47 Varsity, Back Row ll.-Rl: Coach Glennon, K.
