Purple Proves They ' re Champs The Boys ' Purple Basketball team came out of the season with a 8-5 win-loss record. The team had a lot of fun achieving this goal and part of the credit goes to Coach Emmett Koerperich. The highlight of the sea- son was when they beat Anderson 45-41 in a game of power and skill. Purple had many strengths. Speed and agility were among them. Even though they were a good team, all teams have their weaknesses. The team had no height, a good thing to have if you ' re a basketball team. At the beginning of the season Coach Koerperich focused on putting the team together, building their confi- dence, and spirit, and having fun. He always expected the team to do as well as they did. The season was fun and I enjoyed doing it. said Coach Emmett Koerperich. The most valuable player was Brian Seamens and the most improved player was Chris Hall. The most ex- citing game was when Chris Kuyken- dall scored 19 and Brian Seamens scored 18 points against Anderson.

It Wasn ' t As Easy As It Looked The girls ' purple basketball team had a season of ups and downs. The team didn ' t have a bad season, but it wasn ' t an exceptional one either. Their greatest victory was when they upset Nova ' s white team 46 to 25. Their worst loss was when they were defeated 32 to 13 by Chico. Coach Mrs. Rita Osborne felt that their greatest dominate point was the girls ' strong defense. Their weak point, on the other hand, was the team ' s shortcoming for good offense. Mrs. Osborne said that she didn ' t have one most valuable player; she had two; they were Lisa Evanhoe and Jeanette Washington. The team put out a lot of devotion and hard work, but it just didn ' t seem to pay off as well as it could have this season. IEA Km MB 1. Lisa Evanhoe waits for the ball. ' 2.
