This year the boys’ team achieved greater success due to their persistance in practice and in the games. Under the direction of Coach Jim Wilkin, the team practiced everyday from 2:30 to 5:00. Although the boys did not win all of their games, they looked very good out on the court and they never gave up when things got tough or weren’t going their way. The team and the rest of the school were full of excitement and spirit when- ever game-time was near. The boys’ team consisted of the following boys: Seniors: Don Irvine, Dean Foster, Ward Vandehey and Neil Vandehey. Juniors: Doug Rogers, Tim Craw- ford, and Dan Moon. Sophomores: Paul Vandehey, Daren Berg, Allen Hecker, Dante Hill, James Reeher, and Jim Collier. Bobby Robinson was the only Fresh- man member of the team. There was not only pride taken in the team itself, but also to some specific members of the team. Tim Crawford was chosen number three in the All-Stars and James Reeher was chosen number five. As is tradition, the team voted on awards that they feel a person deserved for their special efforts. This year the Most Valuable Player was James Reeher. The Most Improved Players were: Dan Moon, Jim Collier, and Tim Crawford. The Most Inspirational Player was Ward Vandehey and Best Defensive Players were Ward Vandehey and Dean Foster. Mr. Hustle was Dean Foster. 28 Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell Jewell SCORES OLESS: Delphi Astoria Seaside St. Helen Valsetz O.S.S.D.

FhEL) te 1S pe, He od a Ae b a Girls This year the girls played hard and were determined to win, but fate was not on their side. Although they gave their best efforts, the final scores were not in their favor. In December, the team traveled to the Portland Memorial Coliseum to participate in a basketball clinic, to learn new skills. After the clinic, the girls invaded the Lloyd Center, not only to spend money, but also to do some “boy watching.” The big purchase of the day was Snoopy sunglasses for better view- ing of the boys. Julie Rinkes (senior) was chosen by the league coaches for the All-Star team. Honorable mentions were given to Donna Reeher (Senior), Joan Lay- man (Sophomore) and Brenda Morgan (Freshman). 1: The Girls’ Basketball Team: (L-R) Donna Reeher, Sallie Walker, Brenda Morgan, Laura Weitz, Julie Rinkes, Lisa Rinkes, Joan Layman, Dawn Smith, and Coach Becky Philipson. 2: The team tries for the pyramid position. 3: Donna Reeher is not ready for a photo ses- sion yet. 27
