Respectability for Chiefs The Chiefs took giant steps toward maturity and respect- ability in the 1983-84 season. It was truly a year of firsts for Monacan’s basketball pro- gram. This year marked the first time a Monacan Basket- ball team defeated Benedic- tine, Hopewell, or Marshall- Walker; with determination and never ending hustle the Chiefs of 83-84 posted the best record ever ending witha 15-6 mark, 6-4 in the district. Guiding the Chiefs to their Keep Your Distance. Dribbling down court James Thompson keeps his op- ponent at an elbow’s distance. second-place Central District finish were Chris Urban, a first team All-Metro selection, who led the team in scoring, aver- aging 16 points per game. Also for the Chiefs was Mike Winiecki who, at 6’-6’’, is the ‘Tallest Chief Ever’’. Mike was a second-team All-Metro selection and led the team in rebounding with nearly 10 a game. These two super play- ers also landed spots on the first team all Central District squad. Mr. Assist and play- maker Tris Lipscomb was hon- ored for accumulating the most assists during the sea- son averaging 5.6 a game. Outside shooting power was another factor in making this season the best ever. It was provided on the floor by other starters Dan Lynch, Tim Swaim, and Rob Dunnington. These three proved invaluable to Chief success throughout the year. Outstanding efforts off the bench was put forth by Rodney Thomas and Doug Nierle. Head Coach Mike Walker also had tremendous support from James Thomp- son, Ben Horne, Ty Hebertson, Jay Vanstory, and newcomer Calvin Tutweiler. A vastly im- proved Mike Walker Jr. sup- plied the chiefs with superb backcourt performance, both Boys’ Varsity Basketball. FRONT: Kyle Walker, Kit Hayes, Tee Morris (managers). SECOND: Shelley Frank- lin, Jay Vanstory, Rob Dunnington, James Thompson, Mike Walker, Kelly Moore. BACK: Coach Wayne Morris, in practice and in games. Highlights of the 83-84 sea- son included double victories over Benedictine, Lee-Davis, and Hopewell. Notable wins were also notched over Mar- shall-Walker, Trinity, and a re- sounding defeat of Prince George. The last game of the regular season saw the Chiefs travel to Hopewell and emerge victorious by virtue of Chris Ur- ban’s last second shot. Last quarter heroics were also pro- vided by Rob Dunnington, Dan Lynch, and Doug Nierle. The Chiefs, after receiving a bye in the first round of the District Tournament, suffered defeat in their first outing of the event to Hopewell by a score of 83- G5: Although the eight Seniors on this years squad were the nucleus of the best team in Monacan’s history, they had set even higher goals prior to the season. These young men have played together for many years and were extremely dis- appointed in ending post-sea- son play so soon. However, they would like to thank all of the support given to the Bas- ketball program this season by the entire Monacan commu- nity. With strong returning players, the Chiefs should be able to make it work for years to come.
