Field. Back Ro w: George Pierce, Rich Cronemeyer, John Roundballers Take Fourth in State .. JFK Center Chuck Brookfield outstretches his St. John 's rival in the early moments of the game. 64 The Raider basketball team of the 1968-69 season pro- vided Pem-Day fans with their most exciting and satisfy- ing season since the back-to-back state championships of 1956 and 1957. This year the roundballers won the class M regional championship and went on to place fourth in the state competition. Throughout the entire season the strong point of the team was their defense. After experimenting with several forms of defense, the Raider five settled on a tough man-to-man defense for most of the season. Junior Co- Captain Chuck Brookfield led the Raider offense with an average of about 20 points and 15 rebounds per game. For his effort he was named to the second team All- Nletro squad and to the first team Class lVl All-State team. The other Raider Co-Captain, David Woodring, was easily the best outside shooter on the team and the team's sec- ond highest scorer. The Raiders finished with a 21-7 record with winning streaks of 11 and 7 games. The Big Red lost their opener to highly rated Central, but came back to win three in a row. The Raiders lost their next two games to Olathe and Paseo, but again came back with a stunning 11 game winning streak, defeating such formidable foes as Rockhurst, Hogan, and then undefeated Fort Osage. The team suffered another setback when they lost two

straight in the Center tournament and placed only fourth. Determined, the roundballers reeled off 7 straight vic- tories, including 6 in state competition. They defeated highly-regarded Lillis, Tarkio, and Boonville, but ulti- mately fell to Oran and Hermann to finish fourth in the state. Head Coach Jim Ryan and assistant coach Pat White are to be commended for their fine season. The Raider five exhibited the fiery, never-say-die attitude of their coaches as is shown by their many great comeback vic- tories. As the season ended the Raiders ranked 10th in the Kansas City area by the Kansas City Star. The 1968-69 basketball team truly brought quality basketball back to Pem-Day. All-State Raider Co-Captain Chuck Brook- field makes two points look easy. Q If Junior guard Bob Twibell charges forward in an at- tempt to complete a crucial lay-up against Belton.
