J.V.’S win three The Independence J.V. basketball team had a rough time of it in 1967-68, winning only three of twenty games. They were victorious over Garinger, Country Day and Olympic. Under Coach Ernie Kale, the Patriots showed lack of height in some of the games they played during the season but this was not their only problem. In many of their games the J.V.’s played against a full court press and the Patriots would fall to it with numerous turnovers. The Patriots marked up their first victory against Country Day who had formerly beaten them by one point. Mike McDonald’s outside shooting led the team in this game. Their next two wins came over Olympic behind Sandy Ross and Garinger, led by Mike Poole. Sandy Ross was the team’s leading scorer. Sandy Ross makes a one handed jumper look easy to the Huss Huskies. 147
