Although the frosh soph basketball team had the potential for victory, lack of unity and experience contributed to a dis- appointing season. We were a good team, but we didn't put our individual talents together into one. stated forward Kevin Kahn regretfully. Hopefully, we'll all work together better next year on varsity. Several factors led to the season's 4-6 loss, but the team felt that with more work and a little luck, ST could have done better. In many of the games, just a few points made the difference between the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Some of our best players weren't allowed to play, and we really suffered from their absence. Those players had a lot of potential, and they would have carried the team far, explained Kevin. Kevin Kahn's energetic style was a big help to the team. Combined with the work of Robert Porter, Daryl Bryant and the other players, the team played to the best of their abili- ties to defeat the opposing schools. With the support of Coach Mark Bashara, the team worked really hard. Stated center Dave Giuliani, Coach Bashara was a good coach, and he never gave up on us even when we were losing. He just kept at us. Coach Bashara worked with the starting five of the team consisting of Kevin Kahn, Daryl Bryant, Robert Porter, Solo- mon Brockington and Jim Vincent as well as with the other players to prepare the boys for the rough season. Although the season didn't turn out as well as the team would have liked, the boys received lots of support from their family, their friends, and their coach. This helped the boys have fun even when things got tough. The boys leave the season with experience and determi- nation, and they're sure of one thing ... They'll be back, by Christine Wang.
