J Gurl Round bailers Ad vance F arth er TLan E xprcicil Junior varsity girls basketball compiled a 16-4 win-loss record under the guidance of Mr. Bud Raisio. “Playing and practicing as understudies to the state champion varsity team, the girls JV program was being built such that there would be many JV players advancing to the varsity level,’’commented Coach Raisio. The turnout was real impressive and the competition among the girls was very keen.’’ When asked what made his time worthwhile Coach Raisio replied, “The girls new to basketball ad- vanced as far or further than expected. The desire to learn was very evident with this group of girls.” A number of the girls received playing time with the varsity including sophomores Jennita Ennis, Roberta Koch, Valorie Lawrence and freshmen Debbie Cosgrove, Kimiko Danzuka, and Marci Phillips. “I considered the whole team to be valuable,” commented Coach Raisio. “It takes a complete team effort to be competitive in basketball and without team effort you do not progress very far.” ABOVE: Roberta Koch (42), sophomore, achieves inside position on a rebound while freshman Marcy Phillips (20) follows behind and Jennita Ennis (44) concentrates as she looks on.

Rod was the only member from the wrestling squad to represent the Madras team at the state meet. Coach Ron Hopps awarded Rod the most inspirational and most valuable for all his efforts. Rod stated, “This year’s team was the best team I’ve wrestled on, and in the future wrestling will be the sport in Madras.” Coach Hopps felt the Vale and Nyssa matches to be the most rewarding, stating, “We won both dual matches after a long road trip which Madras has not done for a long time, if ever in wrestling.” The most improved wrestler was given to Rod Gillett. Coach Hopps named Jerry Entrikin and Craig Kissler the honorary captains. Hopps noted, “The closeness that developed among our team members was very rewarding. He was pleased with the improvement of each wrestler throughout the season. Many of our squad members have developed a strong desire to become good wrestlers. I feel they are becoming more dedicated. This is something that has been missing in the past.” TOP: Junior Bob Crocker adjusts his wrestling gear prior to a match.
