Control of the Ball by Kerry Lupro ool man, Tom Morton steals the ball . , . breaks from his opponent . . . dribbles down the court . . . he shoots , . . it's good!! Two points for the squires! Basketball requires speed, action, and teamwork. The 198687 boys' junior varsity basketball team displayed these qualities, as well as their own unique style of action-packed games and tricky plays. Led by returning players, such as Scott Ashby and Tom Mor- ton and under the combined talents of coaches Ric Thompson and Ken Franklin, the team kept a never say die attitude. Ken Franklin kept the boys winning with more help from the rest of the junior varsity players. The remaining nine players were Travis Sweitzer, Mike Haas, Randy Lee Matt Goff Steve Baum Joe Buchanon Ja Kit 1 s 1 s y ' ti, Denis Pollak, John McKinley and Joey Balardeta. by Kerry Lupro he most supportive player on the Junior Varsity Basketball team this year was Jay Kitti.

Field Work by Kerry Lupro erhaps what made the team incredi- ble this year was the enormous amount of talent that showed up to play. One player said the strategy was quite simple. We used our opponents' mistakes to our ad- vantage, one player said. With a strong offensive team the Knights took advan- tage of every player on each soccer team they confronted. We 'make the other team realize their weaknesses, said another player. This year's team showed all opponents their own faults. by Nanci Davis enior varsity player, Steve Coulter has been playing soccer for thirteen years. Coach Ogden said, Steve is a real solid player, and he keeps the team fired up. Steve's position was fullback and said he liked the physical aggression involved in soccer. He is known on the field as Hitman and said his coach was a friend as well as a coach. What does Steve like most about SMHS? l like that everybody here knows each other. 1.
