On Their Way Up Jfiiifiiiirfziosim Basketball Following the fine example set by their varsity col- leagues, the JV boys' basketball team racked up a 9-12 win-loss record. Leading the team was Sophomore Leon- ard Wade, who finished the season as top rebounder and scorer, averaging 6 rebounds and 13 points a game. The rally surprised the JV players by purchasing car- nations that were delivered in reg class before a crucial game against the Grant Generals. The M-Men were victo- rious with a close score of 46-44. The main goal for each player was to acquire exper- ience for the varsity level and the squad showed definite talent. During close games, mental mistakes at crucial points determined the outcome, as the M-Men main- tained the short end of the stick. Despite these losses, the hoopers portrayed positive attitudes, helping the team through a very competitive season. We really played better than the record indicated, explained Ju- nior Guard Sean Loth.

On the lower level the Freshman team was a group of enthusiastic kids with a lot of individual talent, trying their hardest to learn, explained Coach Terry Johnson. With strong attempts, their efforts fell short, ending their season with a 2-14 win-loss record. Their best game of the season proved to be successful as the M-Men cagers downed Centennial 67-49, showing potential for their future. The strongest aspect of the team was enthusiasm and willingness to learn. The season could have been better if each player gave 100 percent, exclaimed Team Member Rob Bellamy. Coach Johnson stated, Despite their record, all of the players got along well and were very supportive of each other. , .. ' 4
