Vaasrtg Basketball The Silver Creek varsity basketball team finished the season 6 and 16 overall in league play. Although the record is not outstanding, the Raider hoopsters represented the school commendably during the 1969-'70 season. The pre-season games were all played against teams that finished in the top three in their respective leagues. The Raiders participated in the Bishop O'Dowd Christmas Tournament, which is considered one of the best in the area. The team was 0-2 in the tournament, but played well for a first- year school, the two losses coming at the hands of Lincoln High of S.F. and Salesian High of Richmond. With the opening of league play, the Raiders were ready for action and two victories showed it. Experience is a vital part of a successful season, and the team was lacking in this com- modity. When pressure is on, you know how to handle it only if you have met it before- unfortunately, the Raiders had not. The high point of the season was a 77- 71 victory over the James Lick Comets. The Raiders were beaten by the league-leading Comets 63-44 in the first meeting. The second meeting of the two teams saw a fine team effort by Silver Creek that led to victory. 70
