The entire season the team was in- consistent, in their practices and performances. For example, Gilch- rist upset the Raiders 69-47, the game was supposed to be a Raider blowout. The following night how- ever, Lost River, the underdog, played an excellent game against Lapine with victory falling barely out of reach in the final seconds of the contest with Lapine winning 52- 51. There was also two freshman games in which the freshmen boys from the J.V. team played. Both games were LR victories against the Bulldogs. Although the records and statis- tics do not show it, the J.V. boys considered the season an extreme success. It was a great learning ex- perience for everyone including first time basketball coach Tim Sim- mers who began doing an excellent job after he got into the groove of things. The teams overall record was 9-11 and in league play it was 4-4.
