Tournament tops Frosh cage year Developing basic basketball skills was the prime goal of the freshman basketball program. Successful use of those skills sometimes eluded the freshman as they compiled a 4-6 re- cord. Although the freshman record was 4-6, they lost five games by less than ten points. The young cagers learned the of- fensive skills quickly, opening the season with a win over Great Bend Harrison. Defensive fundamentals sometimes proved to be a weakness. However, during the South Tourna- ment the novice cagers scored deci- sive victories over Great Bend Har- rison and Great Bend Roosevelt. Their final win of the season came against Junction City. sl... X' , ' K- -'H' -Q... x ..- , 1. Troy Freeman supplied the big man for the freshman team. 2.

Sophs experience 'One-win' season A lack of players proved too much for the sophomore cagers as they managed only one win during the season. The sophomores were victimized by the junior varsity team, which took four sophomores to use on their squad. Under the direction of Coach Gary Dunlap, the cagers utilized all their skills to the utmost. However, lacking reserves, they found them- selves on the short end of many close ball games. The young Cou- gars never gave up and continued to improve to the end of the season. The young cagers' win came in their last game against Dodge City. They finally put it together to win decisively, 74-60. 1. Doug Gwin came off the bench to per- form adequately during the year. 2. Todd Reichmuth provided steady guard play throughout the season. 3. Sophomore team members included Cfront rowj Todd Reich- muth, Tony Wissing, Qback rowj Doug Gwin, Doug Eck, Scott Reichenborn and Randy Stuewe.
