BASKETBALL ack to Poway's inning Ways by Paige Smith An array of flat tops and black shoes flashed across the gym floor as this yearls Boys Varsity Basketball team returned the spirit of victory to the green and the gray. Their intensity and hard working attitudes allowed the mighty titans to be among the top of the Palomar League and a top seed in the CIF Playoffs. Building on long-term friendships, it was easy to work together as a team: 'fWe're all friends. We're playing with guys we've played with since we were young, so we know how each other plays, commented Adam Jones. As the team set out to achieve their goals with hard work and dedication they found success. Intensity is the key to life, and that's how we play - intense, re- flected Ty Nichols. By changing their game from a half-court to a running game, they were able to score more points and finish second in the Palomar League. We only thought about the game we had in front of us, we didnlt think aheadf' remembered Jon Culbertson. The Titans found inspiration for impor- tant games by holding pre-game team din- ners. l'The reason I look forward to a bas- ketball season is so I can go over to someone else's house to mooch pizza and spaghetti, and to watch a flickf, informed Jason Jones. Much of the team's success was attribut- ed to the inspirational coaching. Coach Saner led the team to victory by stressing fundamentals, and preparing the team for upcoming competition. Dave Delaney summarized the sea- son by saying, This year's team was inspired by last year's awful show- ing and portrayed great pride and initiative by returning to Poway's winning ways. .as Qlgasigtwers-it-N.-,a,.g'g-swnsts5iEaS..,,-t.-f,.-ass-.wr-1im. it - ' Eze- .ft gg, '- .,,.., ,.,, g sg.
