The J.V. Boys', under Bryon Van Fleet, had a fairly good season, although they had youth and inexperience, they did fairly well. Sometimes, in their see-saw” season, players went through their slumps and various motions to mold into a team united. Give credit to Mr. Van Fleet for giving his all to his players and his time for a productive season.

This game was to be the third meeting of the two teams this year. Fast replied that the team felt very deserving to be in the playoff, after all. only 3 teams had winning records in the SOC.” The coaches and players believed they were a good team, and they showed it in the first game of the playoffs, getting the home court advantage and with a crowd of 2,000 strong, they bested KU, 56-53, to advance to the seconded game of the playoffs against the Medford Black Tor- nados. With two busses loaded with students, and a string of cars so long one lost count, the Vikings headed for Medford on March 4. 1980. After a long and hard fought game, the Vikings came out on the losing end of a 35 to 25 score. Thus the Basketball season came to a close for the Mighty Vikings. Coach Fast expressed his gratitude to the entire Mazama Student Body for their support throughout the season. Fie is looking forward to the 1980-1981 year, and hopes to see the student body as spirited. It’ mine and you CAN’T have itll' r AARGHIII BULK RATE 117

Mazama's Sophomore boys basketball, under the direction of Mike Morgan, compiled an overall record of 6 wins and 7 losses. It was a good season overall, considering Mazama might not have had a Sophomore Team. This team was formed to allow as many boys as possible to play basketball.
