SHS BASKETBALL TEAM TO In the tradition of Jimmy Olson and the Daily Planet, your dedicated yearbook staff interviewed Coach Thompson. He managed to take time off from building a championship team to make a few remarks about the Seniors on this years squad. They have all made an important contribution to the team, fCoaches expect Seniors to be leadersj and they will surely be missed. But, like always, there are a horde of underclassmen eager to fill their shoes. ERNEST WASHINGTON- He was probably our most consistent player. He was our leading rebounder, played good defense in the middle, and wound-up averaging about six or seven points a game. All those came on tip-ins. He could be our MVP for the little things he did.
