Warriors defeat Sedgwick; thirty-two game losing streak is finally stopped Ending a thirty-two game losing streak was a high hope for the Warrior Boys Basketball Team. I was proud of them for never giving up.” stated Coach Curtis Vermillion. This was Coach Vermillion’s first year of coaching and teaching. “I saw improvements in our shooting, our shot selection, some defense and our ability to handle and cope with the press. We did many drills to compensate, and the win over Sedgwick really helped us attitudewise, as well as, being able to compete with other teams,” stat- ed Coach Vermillion. These improvements were evi- dent in the one point win over Sedg- wick in February. This win broke a two year loss record, although it was the only win for the boys. ABOVE: VARSITY BASKETBALL BOYS: Row 1: Bradley Goering, Kent Arnett, John Brunzell. Dennis Stucky, Randy Preheim, Dan Schmidt-manager. Row 2: Head Coach Coach Vermillion believed that the boys’ best games were the ones against Moundridge, Inman and Sedgwick. The junior varsity and freshman teams faired better than the varsity in wins. Junior varsity ended up with a 4-8 overall record and the fresh- men ended with a 2-6 record. The freshman games were held in the junior high gym while the junior var- sity played in the Brown Building Gym. Assistant Coach Mark Robins believed that the freshmen learned a lot about basketball and they great- ly improved. “I truly believe with continued hard work, we will do fine next year,” commented Coach Vermil- lion.
