Basketball '76—A Touch Of Class After many years of suffer- ing through losing seasons, the Madison High School basketball picture took a sudden reversal for the better, with a record of 14- 4 and the co-championship of the N. E. C. The Streaks were undefeated on the home court and beat every team in the N. E. C. at least once. The Streaks, under the third year coach James Dolan gave the hometown fans many evenings of en- joyment and outstanding basketball skill. The team play, passing, shooting and most importantly defense, was as fine a display as seen in the Lake County area in many years. The team began its season with returning lettermen Dan Cleavenger, Kris Fra- ley, and Phil Rozick, who also cuttedas team captains throughout the year. Chris Cicenas moved smoothly into our center position and became not only a fine de- fensive ball player but led the league in field goal per- centages. Chris was backed up this season at center by Kirk Peine, a very strong rebounder and a dedicated player. Jim Dolan became an excellent defensive ball player and provided the team with a play-maker so that each player could per- form his specialty. Rick Evans took over the big forward spot giving us the much-needed height, plus a good outside shooter. Keith Hall provided the team with the speed at the guard posi- tion necessary on our press unit. Ralph Rogers, one of our great all-around ath- letes, played our small forward spot giving us good depth. Rick Keyse played both the guard and forward spot and was one of our best team ball players. The teams fantastic stomping of Geneva 66-47 was probably the best played game of the season. The inspirational win over City 67-56 giving us our N. E.C. basketball championship was another high point.
