Girls b-ballers take 3rd at State Without a league championship to capture, the girls basketball team set its goals on the sub-State and State tournaments. Following a vic- tory over Hays in the first round of regional play, the stage was set for a third meeting with Central. Al- though the girls were definitely un- derdogs following a 30-49 defeat by Central earlier in the year, the over- all Cougar hustle proved too much for the Mustangs as the girls cap- tured their second consecutive sub- State Championship. The Cougars then advanced to State and defeated the Emporia Spartans in the first round action. Following a loss to the undefeated Shawnee Mission Miege girls in semi-final action, the Cougars de- feated Liberal for an impressive third place finish at State. Directed by junior guard Betsy Sloan, the Cougars compiled a 16-5 won-loss season record. Sloan set six team records including a 14.4 scor- ing average. She was also selected to the State tournament team, the All-Area team, and the All-City team. CeCe Pivonka was awarded honorable mention for her State play and was selected on the All- City team. Coach Vern Laubhan started the girls basketball program. His knowledge, complemented by the girls' dedication, resulted in a suc- cessful season. With five returning letterwomen and a solid Junior Var- sity team, the Cougar girls basket- ball program entertains great hopes for the coming year. if i' K 2 . 'fa 5 ki ft . Q, , C . EE

Vince and Scheffer dominate 500 Individual talent was the strength of the boys swimming team as four new school records were estab- lished. Bobby Vince, Russ Scheffer, and Gary Naden each set new school records. Vince broke his own 500 freestyle mark swimming a 4:47.68 and he also established a new 200-yard individual medley time of 2:03.2. Scheffer swam a 1149.3 in the 200-yard freestyle and Naden scored a 225.8 in diving to establish school bests. State proved successful for Vince and Scheffer. The Cougar duo placed first and second in the 500- freestyle with Vince winning. Vince also placed seventh in the individual medley and Scheffer captured fifth in the 200-yard freestyle. Although the team record was less than impressive, the Cougars started the season with a victory over Salina Central, 94-76. The highlight of the team competition came in the 4A Championship meet in which the Cougars place third. Coach Dick Rivera looks forward to a good season next year as all swimmers will be eligible again. ,3
