men ' s basketball Omar grins after 15 wins If you see Coach Omar Harrison smiling these days, it is because his Mustang cagers went 13-4 in the Western Lakes Conference and took second place in the Western Division with an overall 15-5 record. The Mustangs started out on a tough ten-game road trip, but brought home seven wins and only three losses, defeating Stevenson for the first time in Northville history. When the Mustangs finally performed in their refurbished gym, they started a winning tradition by defeating the North Farmmgton Raiders. Senior captain Don Norton led the Mustangs with his scoring ability while senior Mike Hilfinger helped spark the offense. Guard Kirk Morrison contributed with his assists and excellent shot so that 6 ' 6 center Matt Baskerville Hinds could play garbage collector and scrap for extra points. Gary Crazy legs Harper aided with his strong rebounding while forward Paul Newitt stabilized the cagers with his consistent play and hustling defense. Talented juniors were another asset for the ' 85 Mustangs and will surely be catalysts for a successful season next year. Senior Mike Hilfinger drives aggressively past his defender.
