CAGERS Drive and Shoot to Teamas Most Successful Season Under the leadership of Coach Grate, the Vik- ing Cagers opened their 7-11 season with a 71 to 51 Victory over Miami Central. The next victory came four games later over Edison, 84 to 61. C0nstant1y improving, the Viking five gave McArthur, who later won the Northern Gold Coast Conference Championship, a rough time as Jeff Grate sank a f orty-foot jump shot seconds before the gamehs end. This tied the score and put the contest into overtime. The Mustangs, however, forged ahead to an 85 to 82 victory. In Norland,s second meeting with Me- Arthur, the Vikings opened up at halftime lead of 16 points in one of the hottest contests 0f the year. Too many fouls 0n the Norland starting lineup, however, forced cautious defensive action which allowed the Mustangs to close the game with a one- point advantage, 57 to 56, despite an a11-out full court press in the games closing minutes. Just as the season had begun, it ended with a triumph over the Miami Central team as Jeff Grate hit for 45 points to tie the school record for the greatest num- ber of points produced in a single game. Wayne Reed and Jeff Grate reach high to pull down the re- bound which could be a deciding factor in the Jinal outcome.
