Unselfishness Plays A Part In Success With several goals in mind, the Boys' Basketball team began their four month long season with a strong get-up and go attitude. These goals, as was evident in their 20-0 season, were not unattainable. According to Coach Doug Helgeson, their greatest accomplishments were playing in the Regional and West Central tournaments and winning the NPSL title. The Chargers were also recog- nized as the only team ever in the league to finish an undefeated season. Several individual players were honored by the NPSL with such titles as Tom Petersen and Jim Mast awarded as two of the five first team All-Conference players and Carl Vance as second team All-Conference. Jim Mast was also nominated for the Washington Stale's coaches award which is given to the top twenty players in the state. Kevin Torlai, Barry Frederlcks, and Mark Mansfield, holding a 3.5 GPA or better, were included in the All-NPSL Academic Team. Even though the team was highly honored, Coach Helgeson also stood in part of the spotlight. He was recognized as the NPSL coach ot the year. Although the basketball court was the team's stage, they proved themselves in other areas, too. For example, at Christmas time, the whole basketball squad bought Christmas dinner, includ- ing gifts, for the small children of a needy family. This is the most unseflish group ot kids l've ever worked with. Not only on the basketball court, but also in what they give to the community, praised Coach Helgeson. The sophomore and JV teams also pulled through their season with feelings of satisfaction. Sophomore Brad Garland commented, We're a good team with a good season behind us. We will definitely be something to watch for in upcoming seasons. All in all, Coach Helgeson summed up the players in one phrase, They're a classy group of guys - they won with class, and they lost with class. L.CaIt I I g-1-tl D.JOMson D.Johnson3. 1.

Satisfaction Guaranteed November fourth marked the origins of achievement for the wrestling team as they began their season under the coaching of Frank Tyson Sr., Jack Henderson, and Head Coach Jerry Kirk.The wrestlers set their own goals and aspirations, and in pursuit of their own achievements contrib- uted to the total fabric of the team's success. ln setting and reaching goals, expressed Coach Kirk, the wrestlers must be able to assess their capabilities realistically, yet set a standard for themselves that will prove to be a true chaIlenge. One of the highlights of the season, in addition to placing second out of eight teams in the South Kitsap Tournament on January 23, was the victory over a tough Evergreen squad on Janu- ary 28, after suffering a loss to KM the night before. That was really a tough loss for us, related Captain Frank Tyson, and it was really great the way we all pulled together to defeat Evergreen the following night. Part of the reason for the team's success was community support and the fine wrestling pro- grams at the Junior High level. These contributions aided the team's quest for the state finals where Craig Cavanaugh, Lee Johnson, Mike Ogle, and Frank Tyson all placed. Coach Kirk concluded about the season, All in all, we want our wrestlers to have a positive experience and walk away after season's end a little bit better person in some way. N. Keyes T.Sandsnz2. 1.
