The Junior High Boys ' Basketball Coaches, along with the Freshman Boys ' Basketball Coaches, put their efforts into Improving the abilities of the teams, it didn ' t always suc- ceed on the court, where the teams were running against the wind, but the players hustled. Improving had taken hard work from the players on the Freshman Team. Because of losing th ree players, Mike Bertoli, Tim Shaw, and Mark Ackley, to the varsity and Reserve teams, tough odds had to be overcome. In the middle of the season, Tim McNiece, another strong player, became unable to play because of a broken arm. Because of our unlucky season, I tried not to put stress on the play- ers at practice. Instead, they got plenty of playing time, which helped them improve a great deal, said Freshman Coach Roger Voirol. The Eighth Grade Team was also invluenced by unfavorable sur- prises. Almost every game players were ineligible to play; replace- ments were needed. Though we didn ' t win any games, the boys improved. They will contribute to the rebuilding of ' Lion Pride ' , Eighth Grade Coach Mark Schlatter said. For the Seventh Grade Team, the season was an improving one. The team won three of its last five games, finishing as runner-up in the Allen County Athletic Confer- ence Tournament. The team accomplished far more than the record shows; there will be exciting years ahead for this group of players, said Seventh Grade Coach FHal Lehman. They have the makings of a group of winners. The season ended with the giv- ing out of awards. On the Seventh Grade Team, Ryan VanLue was Most Valuable Player, Chad Grieser was Most Improved Player, and Tom Bates received the FHustle Award. Most Valuable Player on the Eighth Grade Team was Jamie Grunden. On the Freshman Team two players were given the award: Rob Cook and Tim McNiece, while the Most Improved Players were Dave Detwiler and Jeff Arnold. It was an improving season for all of these teams. Even more impor- tantly, the players as well as the coaches had fun on the basketball court. Nothing could take away their spirit in basketball. — Jorgen Knudsen 7L SB Jr. High Boys ' Basketball
