Hoopsters faced unusual season Despite a slow start, our team has blended together into a competitive unit, responded senior Steve Beale when asked about the season. The team finished with a league mark under .500 but played better than the record reflects. I This team did an outstanding job considering the unu- sual circumstances surrounding the season. They played excellent basketball against Los Alamitos, Cypress, and highly-ranked Katella. Under the leadership of Coach Tom Voight, the team I learned many fundamental skills important to the game of basketball. Leadership and team play were two points stressed by the energetic Coach Voight. I Despite the looks of our record, we almost always had ' hard fought and exciting games, stated one Varsity mem- 1 ber. Whenever the team was down, they never quit playing [ aggressive basketball. J Senior Bill Freeman analyzed the season perfectly when he said, We tried hard, but you can ' t win them all. 1. After coming out late because of football, senior Bill Freeman did a good job filling up the middle as center. He takes a shot after one of his many rebounds against the Ocean View Seahawks. 2. One of )ohn Callo ' s many duties was moving the ball upcourt while under pressure. He is seen competing in the game against the Los Alami- tos Griffins, which we lost 54-43 3. Donna Huth, Risa Whitchurch, and Eileen Bracken, Varsity Basketball slats, worked hard at games with their record keeping. 4. Senior Steve Beale was one of the team ' s leading rebounders. He goes up for a basket following one of his recoveries Earlier in the year, Beale scored 32 points against the Orange Panthers 5. One of only two juniors on the team, Matt Stokes passes around a Los Alamitos opponent. Laid up with an ankle injury, Stokes missed the first part of the season, but played well when he returned. 6. Varsity member )in Paek, a fine shooting senior, prepares to make a pass into one of the big men. 7. Quickness and the ability to dribble the basketball are two necessary ingredients in the making of a good ballplayer. Exhibiting these skills is senior stand-out Tom Davidson. 8. Early season troubles did not slop senior forward Ben Hankins from being an important figure on the court. An amazed Ocean View player cannot stop him from taking his shot. V J.

Sophs, dominate junior varsity Bobby Todd, Kyle Frohling, and Steve Selleck led the luniors, while |ef Garcia, Andy Reardon, and Randy Cam- ple proved that sophomores can put forth powerful strength on the ).V. Basketball Team too. Previous junior high school Coach, Ralph Reddington said, We are very young and make a lot of mistakes, but we hustle. He also found out that the basketball season is a lot longer here than in junior high school. In the first game of the league, the ).V. basketball players displayed their talents in a victorious game against Los Ala- mitos. Then in the following game with Katella as the oppo- nent, the Saxons just couldn ' t keep hold of the ball in a dis- appointing defeat. The team ' s effort had a major effect in the outcome of the games played in the 1980 Basketball season. If these boys keep practicing in the off-season, then they could produce more victories in the following year, predicted the coach. With the way these fine athletes dash and dart around the court, next year ' s Varsity Basketball season should prove to be very promising. 1. lunior.
