Season Rebuilds The basketball season has been a season of rebuilding for the varsity Chiefs. With a record of 5-16 over all, and placing 2-5 in the conference, the Chiefs may not have had the most impressive scores but they did play good com- petitive games, said Coach John Rotenberry. Forward Mike Blakeslee said, We lacked varsity ex- perience this year. A lot of our experience left with last year's graduating players, but we did play excellent defense. Darren Roubinek, junior guard, said, We didn't play up to our capabilities all of the time, but when we did, we could have beat any team. We had the talent to win more games than we did. But we lacked the attitude Junior forward Mike Blakeslee ignores a Sedalia player and concentrates on putting two more points on the board for the Chiefs. Senior Joe Peters avoids an eager to stuff Glendale opponent and puts it up for the Chiefs. that comes with a team. There will be a good nucleus returning next year to play varsity basket- ball. I am optimistic about the future, said Coach John Rotenberry. Joe Peters, senior center, said, I am a little disappointed that our season ended so poorly. It was my senior year, and I will not be going on to play college ball. I enjoyed the season, it was a lot of fun despite our record. John Penny said, The record does not show the capability of the team. We gave every opponent a good game all the way up to the final buzzer. I think everyone gave their best effort to win and that's all you can ask. 77 lpn .,,, , .,,,,,.
