The freshmen basket- ball team went 1-7 this year. There were a number of good Individual efforts. For example, against Reese Brad Widger scored 27 pts, hitting on 11-lA from the line and over 60% from the floor. Other individuals shined at times as well, but the team lacked the consistency and intensity to reach a winning season. In the words of Coaoh Schreiber, They will do well when they play up to their capabi1ities. The J.V. team ended the season with a 12-8 record. Even though they played as tough as could be expected, they managed to lose the last three games and the chance of a fantastic season. Marty Reinelt and Dave Skinner were the main hustlers of the game and always seemed to keep their opponents on their toes. A player that the J.V. team gravely missed towards the end of the season was Bryan Campbell. He rose to Varsity as a sophomore and scored 20 pts. in his first varsity game. Just the same, it was another fine season- under Coach Rea. J V 25

The seventh grade team didn't put a lot of wins in the plus column this year. But they did make a lot of points towards learning the game of basketball. Coach Doug Kramer taught them a little of everything present- ing a zone defense, a full court press, and a structured offense. The seventh graders, lead by Mark James, played hard and at times put on some nice offensive moves. Hope- fully, this will be the start of a good future team. Tall, guick, talented, and aggressive are a few adjectives that indicate why the eighth graders have been so terrific these past two years in basket- ball. Lead by Coach Peet, they destroyed opponents right and left on their way to an undefeat- ed 23-0 J.H. record. These young men need to have big dreams, but more than just dreams they need to all work hard together to improve and build up the squad so that they don't fall just that little bit short, that’s such a common occurence in H.S. 7 t h G r a d e 2 4

Softball got off to a slow start with a lack of hitting, but their fielding improved since last year. Kim Bastian's first year at pitching proved to be successful. Also, Kim's, Shelly Engler's and Jennl Lalko's hit- ting ability contributed to the team's wins. Al1 and al1, the team's season proved to be a fun and 1ear experlence.
