The Cadets began what appeared to be a losing season, however, they came back and showed con¬ siderable improvement under the coaching of Terry DuFour, and won their last four games and dazzled the Parent ' s Night crowd by whipping Fon du Lac Springs 73-46. The J.V.’s lost a fine player to the varsity in John Pergande early in the season. However, they were boosted by the presence of two outstanding freshmen, Todd Kor- nely and Pat Daul. These two, combined with the scoring ability of Brad Koch and the fine play of guards John Calawerts, Joe Hes- sel and Dave Dewitt led the team to a strong and impressive finish.
