Individual improvement aids varsity net season One word could have described the 1969 basketball season-im- provement. The 9-13 season began with high hopes and, although the tough teams were played early in the season, these hopes were ful- filled. Two underclassmen formed the nucleus of the team. Louis Burns and Mendel Smith were responsi- ble for more than one victory. Illness plagued the Pioneers. Dave McClellen and Ted Young were hindered. As the season progressed, the senior players declined as the newer players improved. For next season, Coach Bill Ritter predicted that if the boys give a good sum- mer effort, we should be one of the toughest teams in the area.
