lie erve lla kethall The Reserve Basketball team enjoyed a very success- ful season with 12 wins and three losses. By defeating Benton Harbor twice and Muskegon once, Muskegon Heights gained the Southwest Conference championship. Much of the credit goes also to Coach Larry Schaude. whose teams performed very well here lor many years. Another untiring worker, who oiten goes unheralded. is Randy Huebler. a Central Iunior High school student manager. The squad itsell had the spirit and the material necessary for a line team - which is exactly what they were. It is interesting that although they were defeated thrice, they never lost to one team twice. The Reserves always thrill the spectators, win or lose. They always give the other team a real battle, and while the game hangs in the balance, the spectators hang on to their hats. High-point-maker during the season was shifted among Bob Slezak, Dean Danigelis. and Ed Carlson, Cliff Cummings, and Tom Vicik.
