Spirits Remained High Despite injuries and inexperieneeg ci winning tradition prevailed 'We had a good year finishing with 18 wins 15 losses. We lost some games in the last seconds. Our low point was losing Willie Yarber due to injury. Aaron Algaier was most improved and I think that Brian Cimperman was the best post in the District, Ken West. lnjuries, inconsistency, inexperi- ence - those are the keywords to describe the season for the boyis varsity basketball team. The three words also tell the story of a season in which the team missed the playoffs for the first time in three years. However, despite a season that dropped the Rebs into fourth place in district, Coach Ken West was not entirely dissapointed. Injuries: The Rebs were planning on having Willie Yarber playing a forward position the entire year, but he suffered leg injuries and his playing time was limited. Yarber is known for his speed on the fast break and his passing ability-two ingredients which would have meant more points for the team. Willie was one of our better passers, Kevin Hillard said. He ran the floor very well also. Marlin Jackson, said that Yarber's absence slowed down a fairly quick team. We were miss- ing a lot of our speed, he said. This forced Coach West to pla- toon a number of players at the foward position. However, senior Brian Cimperman said things could have been worse. His absence hurt us some, but Lance Schmaltz did a great job, Cimperman said. lnconsistency: The Rebels argu- ably had more disappointing losses than any team in the district. We just fell apart, Cimperman said. Most disrict games we lost by five points or so. That's the way it was all year. lf all the hands that reach, could touch.
