1 1 1 . llllllh' , I feel we were the kind of team that was fun to watch because everyone got a chance to contribute to the over-all teasm effort, said first-year coach Al- pha Nesbitt of his 1981-82 boy's varsi- ty basketball team. The team worked hard throughout the season and was able to provide excite- ment for the fans throughout the sea- son. In their home game against High- land, the Stars led through most of the game, but were overtaken by the Scots- men with but a little time left. The Stars then renewed their efforts. With much hustle from guards Kirk Ansola- behere and Shawn Mills, each with ten points for the night, and with the big men, Mike Shults and Robert Posey hustling the boards, the Stars walked away with a 53-51 victory. The stars also posted a strong- victory over the Vikings of West High in the first round of league play. The boys, as a whole team, ran'hard, passed well and played consistent defense to overwhelm the Vikes by a margin of 65-53. Dunking it, senior Robert Posey shows his leap- ing ability.
