A7ter his first year of coaching, Mike Begeman summarizes the varsity boy's basketball season. Although the record may not indicate a banner year, the 0'Gorman Knlghts Boys Basketball program made some positive strides this past year. Playing hard and very competitive were phrases that were frequently heard when people talked about the 0'Gorman team. On many occasions, the Knights gave the fans an exciting night of basketball. I am very proud of the group. l felt we made great progress both as a basketball team and also as people. We never gave up, and that ln itself made our season successful. The Knights say farewell to five outstanding seniors, but return a good nucleus of players who gained valuable experience during the course of the season. To be a winner, you must develop wlnnlng habits, and with the progress that was made this year, 0'Gorman will make a wlnnlng hablt ln basketball in the future.
