I COT PLENTY OF NOTHING - But it won't be long until Mike Manning latches on to the ball. Mike's contributions under the boards were a great asset and his ability to tap in stray shots added many a basket to the final score. VARSITY LEAGUE BASKETBALL Bonner Opposition 52 ..........

Whether his opponents were big or small, Bob always managed to go over or around them to get another two points for the Friars.
