The three coaches pictured above worked hard to bring their teams to a successful season. This season also has been a beneficial learning season as Mr. Frey brought his B squad to a 15-2 record. Mr. Hepperle led his team to a very good season as the Pirates captured the District IV title and went on to runner-up spot in Region I. Mr. Walker worked with grades 5-8 in intramural basketball. This will provide the nucleus of teams to come in LHS. Coaches Help Athletes Achieve Goals The L club, functioning as an active or- ganization in LHS, sponsored many sock hops during the year.

Linton gave Leola a scare in the first round of the Eureka tournament, but Leola went on to win both nights and capture the winner's trophy. The season ended with three losses and four more wins, with victories over Frederick and Eureka included. The Bucs opened District IV tournament play by squeaking past Hecla, then trouncing Frederick the next night.
