ustang Basketball Wins 153 Finishes Second in Division t took Redmond High School s football team seven years to produce a winning season. Mus- tang basketball waited the same seven years to come up with the school's first winning basket- ball team. The squad won 15 while dropping only seven. Redmond basketballers also advanced to the Kingco play- offs at the end of the year. They defeated Sammamish in the first round but lost to Newport the next night to finish overall in fourth place. The season started out with a win over the J.F.K. Lancers 62-50. Redmond went on to win the rest of their pre-season play. Included in that string of victories was the Christmas Holiday tournament. Redmond won the tourney with a 57-53 victory over Lake Washington in the championship game. Three Redmondites pumped in over 200 points as the Mustangs led the league in points per game at 60. Those three who led the team were: Brad Anderson 307 points, Jamie Van De Vanter 282 and Karl Topinka 224 points. Randy Litchfield and Dennis Hepner broke the 100 point mark as Litchfield collected 157 and Hepner 131 tallies. An indication ofwhat's to come? Let's hope so.

zi M, Q Redmond High's Cheer Squad Has Busy Year heerleading is not usually considered a contact sport but the '7l-'72 season shows different. You don't know what dumb feels like till you get knocked over by a 6'5 l95 pound basketball player in pursuit of a stray basketball, says Lisa Honeywell, cheerleader. The staff, Cap- tain Diana Corey, Pam Carton, Lisa Honeyell, Patti Kumagai, Renee Bruneau, Jill Potter, Katri Rolstad and Robin Pep- per can vouch for this. This squad of eight was diminished by one for the majority of the football sea- son when the squad leader became ill. Diana returned healthy for the basketball season. Robin Pepper was offered a job to sing in the KIRO Chorale group, and decided she couldn't handle both, and left the staff. Seven cheerleaders remained to carry out the rest ofthe year's obligations. In the middle of the basketball season, the cheerleaders sold brownies and held car washes, among other money raising activities to pay back a S150 loan from the ASB. Making locker decorations, practicing routines, decorating locker rooms, elec- ting J.V. Cheerleaders, and sign painting are included in a yell leaders' schedule. Cheering is not all roses but it is not all thorns either and the girls who experi- enced this job will really have something to remember. Cheerleaders-87 rw'
