Facial concentration. Attempting to increase the Eagle lead against Big Piney in the Regional Consolation game, Shaun .laggi makes the Punchers pay. The Eagles won the game, placing third in the regionals. From there they placed fifth at state. The best memory was . .watching the senior group turn into a bunch of winners, not just on the scoreboard, but in life!!! Scott Ehlers Exploding crowds lift team spirit Clint Bradshaw he crowd pleasers did their part to entertain the noisy, rambunctious crowds during the explosive, but sometimes heart breaking season. Head Boys Basketball Coach Scott Ehlers said, We were someone to contend with. Ehlers took his teamis strongest point, his five starting seniors, to do battle at the state tournament this year. Senior Chad Anderson said, As we got to state, we knew that we were on the best side of the backet to go all the way. I decided to make the best possible showing. Senior Todd Covolo said, Being a senior I had a lot of mixed feelings about playing in my last games, but the team played well together and we placed fifth overall in the polls. It was a great feeling because we knew that this was where we belonged. It was a very exciting year, mainly because I was a senior, but I got really depressed at the state tournament. It was kind of tough to realize that these were my last games. Overall state was a success, but we could have taken state. The thing that hurt us the worst was switching gyms. It really affected our shots. But it is too late to do anything over, so I guess we just have to be proud of the job we have done, said All State Senior Brent Walk. Senior Shaun Jaggi said, I felt very good and probably more confident than I've ever felt before. As a group of seniors we played very well together. The main reason for this was we had been playing together since the seventh grade. We had a great time. Being a senior and doing as good as we did in the tournament really helped me enjoy my senior year. I felt the team improved a lot and we had quite a few personal accomplishments, said Senior Jace Ferguson. The ups and downs of the season consisted of starting out with a spectacular array of team spirit and pride, against the number one rated team at that time the Wyoming Indians. The Eagles lost by two points which was a boost to the team, especially in the games that followed. They started the slump of the season in December, but rolled back around to be the team they were in the first game. They came out of their slump just in time and peaked at the state tournament. Coach Mark Seals said, The juniors had a lot of experience behind the leadership of the seniors this year. Jeff Bluemel, Clint Hallam, and Kurt Giles had the greatest effect in substitution, but Robert Platts, Cy Campbell, and .lay Buckley also received some playing time on the varsity, noted Seals. Ehlers said, The overall senior leadership was great although Brent Walk was the main spark for the team. The team started working well together at the first, but we hit a slump and then we ended up working very well the last couple weeks before state. The team as a whole started out stiff, and ended up as a very good basketball squad. The best memory was the shining experience at the southwest conference tournament and at state watching the senior group turn into a bunch of winners, not just on the scoreboard, but in life. We ended up fifth in the state out of 26 teams. That is a great compliment to a great bunch of athletes!! l Varsity Basketball 75
