Pre-season predictions foresaw Mountlake Terrace as only a darkhorse. The home announcer began introductions with, The home of the Western Conference Champions . But darkhorse and home were to be the only way the public came to know the Mountlake squad. Followers of the varsity dribblers surely noticed that Coach Blevins had the duty of rebuilding the Hawk squad, as senior Craig Ortloff was the only returning regular of the l970 WesCo Champion squad. In non-conference action the young team opened with a heartbreaker. It was a one point loss to Woodway, by the freethrow of a former Hawk stu- dent. Entering conference play, the young squad would be facing five teams, each twice. Of these five, three would finish in a first place tie, then came fourth place Terrance. But of this depressing year, the Hawks broke several records, won several games by large margins and toted along a bag full of spirited round-ball followers.
