144wBasketbaIl Varsity finishes with steam Through all the laps, in- tense workouts and strategi- cally played games, this year's varsity was always hustling to the end. The Panthers came out on the short end of the stick 12 times and they ex- celled past opponents 10 times. The Panthers captured third place finishes in two tournaments, bringing home trophies both times. The varsity had their ups and downs throughout the year. They struggled at points and sailed through others. With all things considered this was a good year for learn- ing, stated junior Mitch Meiron. With the close of the season nearing, the Panthers began a rampage. There were only six games left and the varsity team was ready to finish with steam. They defeated five of their last six opponents and lost to a strong Warrensburg team to finish their season. On the year some players performed well enough to re- ceive conference and district honors. All-COnference hon- ors went to Mitch Meiron and Jeff Dean, while Larry Rains received Honorable mention, conference honors. In district honors there was one member chosen for the team and this was Jeff Dean. w. WWWWWWWWQWMJ Mitch Meiron skies at the jump. Kevin Bearden coming over for a time out.

. szwaq Future; ! WW wgwiww . Junior Varsity leads the way. Once the games started for the Junior Varsity and Freshman, they were out to compile winning records. With the close of the season both teams had what they wanted, winning seasons. The J.V. led the way with an outstanding 11 wins and 5 losses and the Freshmen record was 7 wins and 5 losses. The J .V. started their season off very strong, win- ning five games and only losing two. The J.V. also took second place in the sophomore tournament held at Ray-Pec. After the tournament the Junior Varsity went into a lull winning one and losing two. With four games remaining in the season, the team decided to get things on track and won all four with the closest game Brad Sparks fights a couple of Roosters for a rebound in a Junior Varsity being Pleasant Hill. game' The freshmen on the other hand sput- tered and spurted through their first few games. They had trouble with their oppo- nents until they pounded Pem Day 62-38, then the team was on the track to win their last four games and end their season. As these two teams finished their sea- sons, students and parents were able to watch some young players perform. Some of these young players will be working, in years to come, to be a part of more winning seasons at Raymore-Peculiar High School. wawwwwwwe wwbyw . wwww . . TUEW o . . a wwwwwwww . wwthw .
