BACK ROW; Troy Webb. Lloyd Burgess. Fred Olsen. Jeffrey Stallings. Coach Chuck Feth. Anthony DeGeorge. For this year ' s freshman basketball team it was a year full of acquiring new skills, skills that would be needed to complete the begin- ning links of a long chain of success at Horth- view High. Although the team had very little experience, through the season they worked hard and became a well rounded team that could work together. Defense, rebounding, and freethrow shooting were the team ' s stron- gest points, along with good team spirit and hustle. They supported each other and worked hard both in practice and in games. Coach Feth emphasized the development of a team concept and sportsmanship. His aim was to work on skills that made each player a better team member. Some outstand ing and key team members were Albert Acosta and Fred Olsen, at the forward posi tions, and Mike Madden and Jeff Stallings. at the guard positions. Although attitude was excellent, inexperience led the freshman team to a final record of 4 wins and 6 losses. First Round N.V.
