nsity I think the ' 85- ' 86 RHS boys ' basket- ball team is an exciting team. We ' re dif- ferent. We ' re smaller, quicker, have better defense, and we have good shooters. I think we ' re a fun team to watch, because we have pressure de- fense and we look for a fast-break when the opportunity arises. We believe in team concept. Everyone plays in every game and contributes their skill and tal- ent. I feel that if you come watch us, you ' ll enjoy the game and go away agreeing with me. Dale Johnson — Head Coach. I feel that we have a good team. This is my second year on the team and it ' s the best one yet. We have good players, and the coach is a nice guy. Anthony Barno — Post. We ' re young and inexperienced, and we don ' t have much height. But we ' re smart, quick, and intense on de- fense. We practice hard and it pays off. Joey Goree — Guard -Forward. We ' re an inexperienced team, we have only two returning players from last year. Through the past couple of months we ' ve come together to form a well-rounded ball club, and with great coaching we should become a good competitor and go CBL. Troy Adams — Guard. Anthony Barno does a jumpshot lor two points against Banning. RHS won the game at a score ol 74- 68, alter three overtimes. Ken Leonard prepares to block out his opponent which is Palm Springs. Palm Springs Sell into the hands ol the mighty Falcons. Boys ' Varsity Basketball 105

Taking RHS by storm f i reg Rowe, a senior, has been playing basket- ball since 7th grade. He has been on the team for two years. Rowe also played golf. Rowe has gotten where he is by hard work and great coaching. He feels that to be good you do the best you r can. Last year Rowe received the most improved award, and was on second team on all league. This year he was on all tourney team at the Riverside Holiday Classic, held at Raincross Sguare during Christmas vacation. Greg Rowe Boys ' Varsity Basketball.

The talent of This year ' s Junior Varsity basketball team could be summed up with one word — inexperience. With 8 sopho- mores and 3 juniors, two playing for the first time, our goal was that of improve- ment by experience. The team did im- prove as a ' team ' and as a group of indi- viduals. Thus improvement and exper- ience will help them and the varsity in the upcoming years. Coach Bill Hughes — IV Head Coach. The team has a lot of talent but we just couldn ' t bring it all together until about half way through the season. Now we ' re on a winning streak. If the whole team stays together, you can expect a CIF championship in the future. Coach Sanners, at least for me, has helped me with my free throws and my outside shots. Jeff Huerta — Freshman guard. o Well first of all I would like to start with the team: we have a lot of potential and a good coach to go along with it. Sometimes we make mistakes, we all do, but most of the time coach is right with his judgements and decisions. Like I said, we have a good team. Leon Gar- rett — Freshman guard. 106 Boys ' JV Basketball. Front row: Stephen Yorke, Owen Simpson, Steve Harris, Tony LaMagna.
