■1 Varsity basketball squad The 1971-72 varsity basketball squad concluded a fine year with a 15-9 record and the second sectional crown in the history of the school. The team had upended Elmhurst, Bishop Dwenger, and New Haven for the sectional title before the regional champs, Garrett, knocked off the Pan- ther quintet, 84-78. The reserve team sported a 14-6 record, while the C- team had a 7-3 seasonal mark. The freshman squad concluded their sea- son with a 1-10 record. The varsity had an erratic regular season with the high being the Dwen- ger Tourney Championship which Snider won for the third time. The Panthers jelled at the end of the cam- paign by knocking off Huntington in the Coliseum to start a five-game streak through the tourney, until Gar- rett eliminated Snider. Snider was led by two All-City players Alonzo Craig and Andy Re- plogle. Alonzo rewrote three Panther records, most points, 447, most field goal attempts, 419, and most field goals, 194. Andy Replogle was second in scoring with 398 points. Rufus Bea- chem scored 224, while Mark Davis had 213. Rich Huser added 141, and Steve Syfert scored 110 points. Replogle led Snider in rebounds with 224. Alonzo Craig pulled down 185, while Huser had 1 17, Davis 102, and Syfert had 90 rebounds. In the assist department Rufus Beachem led Snider with 88. Second was Replogle with 69, while Davis had 53, and Alonzo Craig 48 assists to his credit. As a team Snider shot 44 per cent from the field, and the Panthers hit on 59 per cent from the free throw line for the season.
