Redski Seniors LARRY TRUNNELL-guard Senior members of the Redskin basketball team are Terry Triplett, Phil Thompson, Mike Hay, and Larry Trunnell. Have you ever wonflerecl why all basketball players do so much practicing right be- fore the game? You would think that since they practice five days a week, this woulcl be sufficientg but they still shoot over HOWARD FARRELLkfOrward and over at the 'cole hoop',. It seems to me that they should conserve their energy for vents the extremely : strenuous play a- headi.

Seneca Basketball Eeft to right: Mr. Young, Mr. Hamm, Ronnie Rogers, Julius Prince, Terry Triplett, Larry Trunnell, Mike Hay Phil Thompson Jon iggs, Bob Laile, Howard Farrell, James Overal, Scott Hunt, Mr. Ash. Kneeling: Paul Cyrus, Bob Tharp, Maurice Crawford OUR VARSITY MEN Lonesome has always been proud of his basketball team, and this yearis team is surely one in which every Redskin must take pride. Many hours of grueling work and practice must be de- voted by each member, and this teamwork has proved its value. ln Senecais opening game against Western the 'Skins used their strategy by scoring twenty-nine points in the final quarter to win the game 72-65. Trunnell led the scoring with twenty-six points. In the battle with Thomas Jefferson, rated number five in the state, Seneca again revealed its power by tieing ,and holding the Patriots within points during the first half. Larry Trunnell served his fourth year on the varsity squad, and the playing of Hay, Triplett, Overall, Prince, and Farrell proved invaluable. Mr. Ash, head b-ball coach, assisted by coaches Young and Hamm, directed the hard-driving team. With four seniors to lead the way, our 1965-66 basketball team has dem- onstrated a valuable lesson to all of Lonesome's Redskin tribe. Any person or group of persons can accept victory easily, but it takes a better person to swallow the defeats that life hands out and have the determination to strengthen his Weakness and rise to even greater heights. This is true sportsmanship. COACH ASH

Warm- Up Coaches 7 1 3 'VER T W RONNIE ROGERS--guard Mr. Young and Mr. Hamm are assistant coaches who aided in basketball tutelage. Actually the time used shooting and exercising before the ame is well s ent. The last minute shots be- g P fore tip-off sharpen the players eyes and loos- en tight muscles. As game time approaches, the tension mounts and the crowd becomes uneasy. Looking up at all those wild, screaming fans could certainly scare PAUL CYRUS-guard a poor fellow, but the concentra- tion on practicing helps to take some of this pressure off of the boys.
