Basketball This year there was a feeling of sadness as the '63 Basketball Season came to a close. There were many games that will long be remembered. All three teams performed in a manner that was a tribute to the great name of Lenape. Our Freshman team, under the direction of Mr. Caputo, had a wonderful season this year. Out of seventeen games, they won fifteen and lost only two. One of the losses was in an overtime game against Moorestown. The Freshman Tournament was held at our school this year on March 2 in the gym. As we all know by seeing the new trophy in the Trophy Case, the Freshman won this. We are all proud of them and look forward to seeing the boys advance to the J. V. and Varsity squads in the future. Although the Junior Varsity did not have a spectacular season, they played some very good games. Under their coach, Mr. Murray, they won five out of eighteen games. They were a relatively inexperienced team, but after this year and with more practice, they should greatly improve their record. Last but not least is our Varsity Squad. The Varsity, coached by Mr. Galtere, gave Lenape many moments which will never be forgotten Out of t t . wen y games, we won ten and lost ten. We finished the season by being tied for third place in the league conference. This was the best record accomplished by the basketball teams as of yet. Three of the games we lost were by one point and one by two points. These were considered the heartbreakers, but the most heartbreaking game of these was our loss to Mt. Holly. The team fought for this game all the way. With two seconds left in the game Holly had a one point lead on the Indians. Lenape held the ball and set up a play with hopes of making the basket. The attempt was unsuccessful, but in spirit we all felt we really won this one. Even though we lost the very close games, we won many the way we all like to see games won S f ' ' ' ' ome o the wins we had were a surprise to many. A fine example of this was our last game. ln front of one of the biggest crowds ever in our gym the Indians went on to be the onl team I Y to defeat Burlington High this season. All those who saw this game will agree it was one of h b t e est they had ever seen. The team played a great game against Burlington as they did in all their ga-mes. Since we are only losing two seniors this year, Lenape is looking forward to a fine . . . . . season next year with an experienced and high-spirited squad. With the basketball teams we have, Lenape has something to really be proud The filled ' Y many afternoons and evenings with enioyment and excitement, but best of all, they brought h more onor to our school. With the potential we have for next year, we are looking forward to greater seasons with much more spirit from the student body. l CHARLES WELLS RON DAVIDSON I Co-Captain Co-Captain
