PERS EVERE Ah, basketball! From that first thump of the ball slamming against the backboard to the fading echo of the final buzzer, there is the tinge of a never-say-die spirit. Rams spirit, the same spirit that led the boys ' varsity team to a co-championship this season. The first game was a hint to what the season would be like. Even though it was a loss, it was a close game, going down to the final seconds, giving the huge home crowd something to get excited about. As the season grew older, the boys grew better, racking up numerous victories, a lot of them, close, nerve-wracking games. The starting line-up usually consisted of seniors, with juniors playing back-up through long, tiring games. The biggest game of the season was against arch-rival, Litchfield. The gym was literally filled to the rafters as the Rams and Terriers fought it out for first place in the league. To the intense disappointment of the boys and the home crowd, Litchfield emerged victorious that night, later repeating the performance in N.A. ' s first tournament game, ending strong hopes for a dis- trict title. The 1977-78 varsity basketball team fin- ished with a league record of 9 and 1, and an over-all record of 14 and 2.
