Ever since the first game they gave it their all, right up to the last game. Their determination and hard work im- proved towards the end of the season which would start them in a positive direction for the next season. Describing the season, Head Coach J. D. Rios portrayed it as unexpected and grati- fying. The season was unexpected in the sense that nobody thought that we were going to do anything, explained Coach Rios. Continuing, he told that Hgratifyingv defined their games in general. '4Through the ex- haustment and excitement of each game the kids did good things. With a talented, yet inexperienced Shooters team, strengths were found in outside shoot- ing and guarding. Chris Petersen stated, f'Our guards were quick and could make things happen inside. One major weakness was the lack of experience. Considering out of fourteen players, there was only one player with varsity experienceg two with junior varsity experienceg and one with sophomore experi- ence, the team did very well as a whole. Overall, the team worked hard to give their first season a strong start. With a conference record made by Chris McCray for scoring 53 points during the Muscatine game, North was set in the right direction. High spirits and confidence within the team kept the fans filling the bleachers and helped to keep enthusiasm on the floor. 1 Wew+'ffaJ.1-ag. ,,k M . E Qmw..
