Determination, Balance Prove Varsity ' s The varsity basketball team began the sea- son with hopes of reaching CIF. With hard work and dedication, this goal was achieved. During preseason games, the Vikes had many close and competitive games. However, the team ' s consistency, winning or losing, was very unstable throughout the season. The toughest opponents for the Vikes were Workman and Covina. In the first round of league play, Morthview played Workman and lost by four points, 41 to 45. However, in the first round horthview defeated Covina, 42, to 31. This year, the varsity basketball team did not have a permanent captain. Instead, with every game, a different player would be captain. This gave every player the opportin- ity to be captain of the team, at least for the night. Some of the Star players of this year ' s team were Adrian Malerba and David Gar- man. Malerba was great with handling the ball and running the floor, while Garman was out- standing with his shooting and rebounding. Both Malerba and Garman made First Team All-League. Victor Mavarroand Lonnie Connor were on the Second Team All-League. The ' 83-84 varsity basketball team gave an all-out effort to produce a winning season. First Round NV OPP.
