DAN DWYER Captain Sporting new scarlet and white uniforms Sierra's Varsity basketball team took to the court for the first game of the season against the El Rancho Dons, emerging victorious in the pre-league battle. The next several prac- tice encounters with most of the district teams resulted in an impressive winning streak for coach Len Craven's cagers until they were defeated by Cal Hi in the La Habra Christ- mas Basketball Tournament. The team lost the season kick-off game to La Mirada, and after a series of stormy com- petitions, ended the season with three wins and seven losses. Bright moments in the '63-'64 story included wins Over a- strong Pioneer team and eventual league champ, Mayfair. Contributing greatly to the team effort were forward Dan Dwyer and guard Rick Lidster.
