Probably the main reason be- hind the Greyhounds' success this season is the work of head coach Charlie Spoonhour. Coming to Moberly was a big task for Coach Spoonhour. In coming here he faced the problem of rebuilding a team that didn't have too many players. By hurried but strong recruit- ing and unifying the players into a team, Moberly once again had a squad to be proud of. As a first year coach he did an excellent job of approaching a rugged sched- ule - one of the toughest in the nation. Before coming to Moberly, he was assistant coach at Southwest Mis- souri State University. Coach Spoonhour insists that it isn't only himself who molded the team together. He gives credit to his assistants, but mainly to his players. Lee Kariker When ou thinkofhavin awinnin sea - Y 8 S ' son, the responsibility of a great team doesn't rely solely on the head coach. He, too, needs assistance in running a top-notch program. Lee Kariker volunteered to take the task of helping build a dynamic Greyhound squad. He has earned the respect of all his players not only as a coach, but as a good friend. Coach Kariker has taken over many a day of practice during Coach Spoonhour's absence. He, along with Coach Spoon- hour is the type of coach you like to win for because of his understanding and individual time with his ball- players. Before moving to Moberly, he was the assist- ant coach at North Kansas City High School, Harrison Stepter. Coach Steptor has also been a great help in developing the Greyhounds into a superb unit. Not only does he help on the court, but by staying with the team in their dormitory he was the one the players went to when they needed advice. Coach Step- ter has a strong background for coaching. He played ball for the Greyhounds in 1966-67, and was selected as a Junior College All-American. After graduating from Michigan State, he travelled with the world fa- mous Harlem Globetrotters. He plans to continue to coach a few more years. He is originally from St. Louis and will be remembered a longtime by Moberly fans as one of their favorite players. . ...A 1 94 l4o f V 5,0 A fl W Z 7, f ,I , Mn? : , , na. ,Ni , 7 jg ,XM ff ff J kg f . ,iff Q yi Z- 1' f f , 4' Seas 2nd Reg lst M 1st H Denn Otis J The Greyhou. astonishmei returnees fri the Hounds' season.

Under new coaches and only three returnees from last season, very few people thought the Hounds would do well just to accomplish a .500 season. They proved to do much more than that. After a slow start of a 5-5 first half record, the Hounds rolled to 13 straight victories. Coach Spoon- hour broke the record of 16 wins as a freshman coach formerly owned by Cotton Fitzsimmons by having a 26-9 season slate. Another record was set by winning the Western Division Title in Region XVI by a first-year coach. The leading scorer for the Hounds during the regular season was Dennis Hill who had a 17.6 scoring average. Vernon Dixon was the leading rebounder with a 15 per game average. But it was not only two or three players who carried the Greyhounds, it was a complete unit. The coaches as well as the student body and people of Moberly should be pleased and proud of the astonishing ac- complishments the Moberly Greyhounds have brought to the community. . . - . .. .. . .V ..,.e.f.fe...a..afa.a1:.1.z- '- 1 . . . ,. .. ..
