Team wins Few for gymncists Overall team weakness but top individual efforts, a common state- ment when referring to Adams athlet- ic teams, aptly describes the men's and women's gymnastics teams for 1975. Even thought both teams managed only one win fthe women against Jackson and the men against Mar- shalll, several standouts were tops in their events. For the women, top all-around gymnast was Marca Weinberg who. was especially strong in floor exercis- es, Monica Wickstrom on the balance beam, Robin Cusma on the vault, and Cindy Boyd and Tammy Evensen on the uneven parallel bars. The men also had some fair performances from Troy Dickenson on the vault, Mark Renwick on the rings, Mike Jump and Ken Jones on the parallel bars, Jobel Verzosa on the side horse and George Clauser on floor exercises. lbelowl team members cheer on good performance, lrightl George Clouser competes on side horse, labove rightl Jobel Verzosa holds position on par- allel bars.

Hoopsters finish lackluster 12-10 season Most people might call the 1975-76 season dismal, but men's varsity basketball coach Milt Adams called it a move in the direction toward a championship ball club. Adams stated, This was a suc- cessful season. Our 12-10 record was six games better than last year's and it was the first time in three years we had a winning team. Although our team had a winning record, we lacked the ability to adjust to pressure at the right time which is a determining factor to become a championship team. After jumping out to a 3-0 league record, the Patriots lost close road games back to back to Madison and Grant, and started to decline in confidence. Senior guards Robert Taylor and Curtis Anderson were picked to the second team East Division All Star squad. Junior Mario Mitchell and Senior Mark Defrancisco gained honorable mention. lbelowl pep band member Bryan Bates watches the actiong lrighfl Robert Taylor eyes basket against Wilson playerf iabove rightl Coach Milt Adams plots defenses during break in actiong lopposite pagel CUV' tis Anderson drives for hoop over Franklin player. 94
