Wrona, Todd Werner, John Lamb, Shawn Hammers, Brian Kerr, Steve Zeh (missing from photo: Lance Fredericks) A Spirited Season The season started too per- fectly- seven returning letter- men and location in Tri-Coun- ty North. Throughout the pre-season, the team played tough, staying close against larger teams. Then the big disappoint- ment hit. After leading River- side the entire game, a Pan- ther player scored with less than 15 seconds to go. The backs and spirits of the young Warriors were broken. A feeling of utter frustra- tion continued through the season caused by a 2 point loss to Laurel at the Christmas Tournament, a 1 point loss to Frew Mill (W.P.I.A.L. “A” Champs) at the buzzer, and finally another 1 point loss to Riverside. The loss to River- side did the most damage, as it knocked the winter War- riors” from the playoffs race. There were some highlights of the 1987-88 season; Kevin Wrona's 23 consecutive double figure scoring games, scoring 1 90 points on a spirited Shen- ango team, and upsetting the highly praised Union Scotties. Kevin Wrona was the War- riors scoring champ and Todd Lape led in rebounding. But let's also recognize Craig Miller, Pat Silhanek, Todd Mrozek and the rest of the team. Let’s give thanks to Mr. Samsa and Mr. Hodge who sac- rificed their time to teach the players the meaning of bas- ketball, how to accept the for- tunes and anguish of life, no matter the degree. The play- ers also deserve special recog- nition for devoting many of their high school days to cre- ate memories. Thanks to the managers and stats who as- sisted the team in a silent way. And finally, thanks to the student body, cheerlead- ers and fans for their support through the good times and bad. You deserve a round of applause! Varsity Players (kneeling) Roy McFate, Bill Shiderly, Craig Miller, Todd Mrozek. Toby McConahy (standing) Pat Silhanek, Brent Germanski, Kevin Wrona, Todd Lape, Frank Magno, David McKinney 23
