Only one word can be said for the effectiveness of the Kathleen Varsity Cagers. Teamwork. With only a few players over six feet tall, speed and teamwork were essential. The full and half court press and the fast break were used extensively during the season. Leading scorers for the Devils were Randy Cal- lahan and Carl London. Randy Callahan was a returning let- terman and a team captain, while Carl London thrilled everybody with his agility and quickness. Leading rebound- ers were Bill McClellan and Bruce McLeod, the two tallest players on the team. Practice was held lust about every day with the fine points of drib- bling, shooting, and offensive and defensive plays reviewed over and over. This year's Cagers had a .500 season, including a win in their own Kathleen Invitational tourna- ment. Head Coach Bobby Bowman and assistant coach Larry Sunday gave much lead- ership and enthusiasm to a small but effective basketball team.
