Varsity basketball For the basketball fans at Saratoga High School this year's varsity team proved to be an exciting one, with five players Don Herick, Rob Babcock, Greg Jones, Dave Marino and Mark Strasburger back from a last year's team that was just in the threshold of being a winner.

We entered competition in the new De Anza League which includid the six teams from the Fremont District and Saratoga High School. The biggest confrontations were with a tough Monta Vista squad and a tall Cupertino team. However the Falcons, this year, have improved shooting and ball handling and definitely pulled a few surprises in this strong new league. -Coach Dan Wilson
