hat this freshman basketball team did was completely unexpected. Like their football team, they shouldn't have even caused a slight tremor in the district race. But instead, their earth-shaking performances earned them an undeleated city championship. The frosh scoring was consistentg no team ever came within fifteen points of Lanier. ln fact, Lanier upended second place Johnston twice, first 66-45, then 85- 60, The Rams were lucky, though. The Viks annihilated Travis 76-33 and 61-45, and smacked Anderson 72-42. This kind of basketball couIdn't have been possible without the outstanding talent the 20 man squad had. Starters Pat Maxwell, Mike Perry, Chet Stevenson, Mike Campbell and Harrell Howard made up the backbone of the team, while Mike Taylor, James Harris, and Kevin Wade provided top-notch substitutions. Coach Hooker predicted that at least three guys should move up to varsity by next year. A lot of credit goes to Coach Hocker himself. He pointed out that discipline played just about the biggest part in the season. The boys didn't want the discipline and order that I gave them. Everybody wanted to play offense instead of defense, and there was a lot of concern over who scored the most. Lots of discipline and talent plus a winning coach. These are the ingredients that turned up a twenty game winning streak, a district title, and the first undefeated basketball team in Lanier's history. ndefea ted The JV finished with a 7-9 district record. Dribbling, passing and shooting, they patterned themselves after the Varsity. ln first half play they barely lost to Travis by four points. The next week they stomped Austin and came up against McCallum. The Viks led by one in the first quarter but the Knights tied it at 27 at the half. The Viks took the third quarter but as the game neared the end they tell behind one point. With less than five seconds left, Eric Busboom put in the winning basket to make it 60-59. First half play ended with a win over Crockett and three consecutive losses to Reagan, Anderson and LBJ. The second half shaped up the same as the first, losing and beating the same teams, with one exception. They turned the loss to Reagan into a big victory. Lanier led at the half, but the Raiders tied it up at the end of the game, sending it into a 74-71 overtime victory. Bruce Markert led scoring with 22 points, making four in overtime. Brian Hawthorne and Kenneth Thompson made the other winning baskets in overtime. The Viks ended the season in a heated game against LBJ. The game went back and forth with each of the teams trading turns leading. The final score showed the teams equal with 57 points a piece. ln the overtime, LBJ made one basket and held the Viks off, but just as the buzzer rung, Larry Lawrence put in a winning shot. The two teams once again went into overtime ending with Ll3j ahead and winning 77-76.
