The Freshman Basketball team had a very exciting year. Though their record was 2-I4, they were a very determined team. Coach Farrell has created a pro- gram which encourages the devel- opment of sound fundamental bas- ketball. The freshman coaches stick with that philosophy to de- velop young men who can then play ball on the JV and Varsity level. As coaches, we wanted to stress improvement, discipline and hard work. But we also stressed the importance of having fun play- ing ball as freshmen, said Fresh- man Coach Wyck Chew. We had kids playing who had never touched a basketball when they came out at the start. We worked on fundamentals the entire season and they came around LOOOZ. Our two wins at the end of the season were more than we counted on, said Coach Chew. D7
