It was a real good year. Doubts Diminished Northwest entered the 1980-81 basketball season with plenty of optimism. With only two returning starters, many had doubts. Those doubts were soon forgotten when the Vikings won seven of their first ten games. The team gained much more confidence when they defeated .Aurora (58-54) in the conference tournament, the first time since 1976. They again downed Aurora in regular season (53-41). The third time wasn ' t the charm though as Aurora brought the Viking season to an end at 14-8. The captions are quotes from the four seniors, John Bauer, Dave Blake. Brian Hoglund and Brent Karley. 85

The freshman basketball team after losing their first game to Barr came back to win their next game and from that point continued to improve. Coach Hird said, Despite a losing record (5-7), the freshman squad played well at limes and matured as competitors. Jeff Baxter drives for the basket.
