RESERVES RAISE SEASO RECGRD When asked what the team goals for the reserve basketball team were, coach Chris Green stated We had two goals. One was to constant- ly improve from the beginning ofthe season to the end. The other was to prepare the players for varisty play. Though plagued by numerous in- juries, the team overcame this ob- stacle and was very competitive. lts 9-11 record was enough to place the young Pirates third in the SBC. According to Green, since all the players were equally valuable and all contributed, the captain slot was ro- tated for each game. Although no special awards were given, the JV team was honored with the varsity team at the annual sports banquet. 2 of is N .,.... W ,, .,..w.............. 1.

DRIBBLERS DEVELOP HI H PIRIT lt was not a successful season from a win-loss standpoint. Howev- er, I was pleased with the athletes' never-give-up attitude, stated head basketball coach John Schlessman. These words also illustrate the feelings of this year's spectators. Captains Tony Kromer and Paul Mullins both earned SBC post sea- son awards. Kromer, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, cap- tured a berth on the second team in the SBC. The team's Most Valuable Player, Mullins, earned a first team spot in the SBC. Being the top de- fensive player, he also led in assists. Junior Steve Toft was voted the Most Improved Player. iiihls SEQRES 5355898 2 'K gtg 1. FRONT ROW: S. Unckrich, R. White, S. Ben- key, M. Bruno, J. Giardina, B. Brown. BACK ROW: Coach C. Green, S.
