Last year, Rams basketball bounced into a superb season, this year's team record is absurd- ly poor. Center Jim Vielandi believes that talent-wise, the Rams were better than everyone else they played. They wh y were the Rams repeatedly smeared across their own court? Basketball coach Bill Rust cites in- experience as the major factor result- ing in varsity's long string of defeats: We lost four starters. The dribblers also had trouble working together- coordinating themselves, as Mr. Rust puts it. Jim Vielandi dubs the team's strategy street ball, and Senior Frank Mer- chant laments, We just pooped out. In spite of these problems, a few coups de maitre highlighted the Ram's season. Tremendous school support for the team drew masses of spectators to games. Ticket sales raised several hundred dollars for Randallstown sports. In the Westminister Tournament, var ity conquered the top-ranked team of Carroll County. Randa1lstown's team effort was led by Jim Vielandi, who averaged 22 points per game and scored a record 37 points against Dundalk Senior High School. Also, Frank Merchant proved to be a versatile ball handler and impressive scorer, averaging 15 points per game. Whats in store for RHS basketball next year? Only a week after the last game, Coach Rust began to regrow his auspicious mustache-which he unfortunately shaved off this year- -hoping that the magic of the 1979- 80 season will return in '82.

Just like dadd ast year, junior Julie Weiner wanted to become a member of the indoor track team. I saw signs in the locker room and heard announcements concerning track, she explains. I filled out an application and went to practice. Her interest paid off: I loved it! I ran to keep in shape, and I met a lot of people as well. This year, Julie enjoyed her second year on the team. Although Julie loved running in- door track, she and other runners had to put up with several inconven- iences. 4 In any other school, indoor track runners are usually found jogging through the hallways. But because of the school's unique design and floor plan, practice indoors was practically impossible. Consequently, practices were often held outside-but cold and harsh weather frequently re- stricted the amount of practice. And to keep the runners' pace steady-or perhaps to check up on cheaters-coaches followed closely in a car. But the team was able to endure all the inconveniences and run away with a championship season. Tom Langley, coach, is proud of team leaders, citing Kenny Bas- All track meets were open.

Coach Langley is sorry that many of the outstanding seniors will leave the team, but he looks forward to another winning season next year. Several underclassmen will not re- turn, however, because the daily practices proved annoying and too strenuous. They did not appreciate I loved it!

Others did not mind that at all, in fact, some runners admired the coaches' efforts to vary the practice activities to avoid monotony. Throughout the season, the team performed superbly. The boys set 11 new school records, while the girls topped this with 18 broken records. Julie Weiner suggests that the team achieved well because we got along like a family. Coach Langley was like our daddy. Indoor track!97
