With experience and a strong will to win the varsity basketball team kicked off thg season with five returning seniors. The team stayed strong and finished with a 10-4 fe, cord. Coach Randy Richardson claims the battle against Jennings was the highlight of the season. Everyone got to play, and We scored a lot, reflected Richardson. The players had a different game in mind. We most enjoyed the South game because We defeated a fifth ranked team, said Seniors Bo Tonella and Mike Collett. Unanimously everyone agreed Collett was the Most Valuable Player. He was a team leader and scored an average of 15 points per game. His most remarkable perfor. mance was against Riverview, where hg scored 43 points, and broke the school re. cord for personal best. The team was made up of five returning seniors: Tonella, Collett, Ed Bierman, Byron Hayes, and Paul Chickowski. The Colts im- proved considerably from last year's record, They were proud of their achievements, ac. cording to Richardson.

Shooting for perfec ' lf you were to walk into the gymnasium after school between mid-November and late February the chances of being trampled by 13 boys ranging in heights of 5'7 to 6'4 would be great. During this time the fresh- men and sophomore boys basketball teams practice their jumpshots, layups, and free- throws in preparation for their seasons. The sophomore basketball team had a rough season. Coached by Counseler Robert Brown, the team finished with a 9-12 record. Brown said, The sophomores were quite a competitive group of young men. Unfortu- nately we lost many of the games because of missed opportunities and an overall lack of height. Although it was not their best sea- son, Sophomore Josh Connell said, We played pretty well. At the end of the year it was more of a team effort, so we played VISITOR HOME O Doo 3 2 D005 0 13 Ooocx 00000 200 0 C0200 O TIES 00000 OPPONENT WE THEY West 47 49 South 52 47 North 45 82 McCluer 44 45 Hazelwood West 52 41 Hazelwood West 57 45 West 37 44 Fox 47 51 Pattonville Riverview Lindbergh North Northwest House S r South Beaumont Kirkwood Ladue Lafayette ox Eureka Jennings Mehlville Washington West Sports better. They played some games that they could be proud of. ln the game against unde- feated Lindbergh High School the sopho- mores won by six points. The final score was 50-44. When asked how he felt about work- ing with the team, Brown said, Working with this year's sophomores has been an enjoyable experience for me. Dealing with 13 different personalities and ability levels has kept me on my toes. Unlike the sophomores the freshmen bas- ketball team, coached by Winston Rogers, English teacher, had a good season. They finished with a 15-4 record and placed third in the Parkway Freshmen Boys Basketball Tournament. Part of their success was that they were all friends. Kirk Franchkiewicz said, We all blended in well and we were good friends off the court which made play- ky tlon ing fun. The freshmen played some very good games, but their best one was against McCluer North. Rogers said, We were down by 17 points in the third quarter and most of the fans had left. The team did not die and fought hard to come back and win with a shot at the buzzer. lncidentally, that was McCluer North's only loss. The final score was 48-46. The freshmen feel that the season was played well. Scott Zide said, I thought the outcome was really good. Ev. eryone learned a whole lot this year. lt was a great experience for all of us. Rogers en. joyed working with the team and said, The team's talent was raw and hopefully I have shown them areas in which each individual can improve so that in the future, they can help the varsity team in some capacity. lax!
