tDnthe i,, . Rebound Varsity squad notches district title As quickly as the excitement of post-season play had begun, it was all over, and only after participation in the first round. Memorial's Varsity Mustangs were now out of it, losing only by one basket, and the basket- ball season of 1980-1981 was now at an end. The Varsity team, having compiled a record of 31 wins and six losses, remaining undefeated in district play and holding at one point in the season a game winning streak would now be left to pack up their duffles and think about what might have been. I don't consider this year a per- sonal success. After that game, we hadn't really peaked yet. If we had won, that's what would have started us, we could have taken off, confess- ed Senior Mark Krog. Although the Mustangs staged a productive season, feelings of remorse over the season's results still lingered with players. We weren't enough of a team, we were a group of individuals. We had one leader in Gettys. Gettys had a way of getting us mentally ready. Ninety per cent of it was him. He was our team leader and got us going. We won't have that next year: we will have to be more of a team. It will take us all to get psyched up, not just one person. This will enable us to be more together, explained Iunior Chris Ochs. continued on page 109 High in the air, Senior Varsity member Mark Krog executes a jump shot.
