Cagers Display Constant Determination Coach Don Bartek’s 1969-70 OHS basketball team compiled a mediocre season record of nine victories and 10 defeats. Plagued by injuries to top men throughout the year the Bulldogs, however, managed to bring home the third place Goldenrod Conference tournament trophy. In addition, the team finished in a tie for third place in league standings with its 4-3 record. Thirty-seven boys reported for workouts each evening; before pre-season squad adjustments were made this was one of the largest groups ever to participate in the prorgam at Osceola High School. Final team statistics revealed that the Bulldogs maintained a 39% shooting accuracy, a 64% free throw average, and grabbed a total of 774 rebounds. Contributing to their season percentage were seniors Duane Gabriel and Byron Nelson who were named to the all-conference second team; Jerry Cerny, also a senior, was awarded an honorable mention position. Under assistant coach Gary Workman, the B-team was led to the end of a very successful season, writing an impressive 13-2 record. Class B teams provided the underclassmen with their only losses. Also this year the freshman players competed in five games, including their annual Genoa tournament at which they received the third place laurels; four victories and one defeat were tabulated.
