oys' I. V. Basketball got off to a slow start this season. The team only won two regular season games, but they did succeed in building a lot of strong individual talent. The program was designed to pre- pare the younger athletes for future play of the varsity team. Although their re- cord didn't show it, the team was a lot stronger and worked a lot better as a team as the season progressed. In the city tour- nament Bonneville won, but the Skyline team beat Idaho Falls twice. That was as many wins as they had had during all of the regular season. The main objective for the team was to prepare themselves for varsity basketball. They did this with their strong finish in the tournament, so the season turned out to be a success. Boys, j. V.

ith a strong finish for the regular season, the basketball team was in great shape for the tournaments. Idaho Falls was the first team Skyline had to play at the district tournament and Skyline was ready. Coach jim Lewis used several different players for several different situ- ations, just like a chess match. A late surge by Idaho Falls gave the team a scare, but they held off until the final buzzer and won by two. Skyline went on to beat Idaho Falls again in the district tournament, but they lost to Bonneville for the championship. By taking second at district, Skyline still had a chance to go to state if they could be Pocatello. They went to Pocatello in a last attempt to get to the state tournament. The team had a shooting average of over 70 percent for the game and they were on their way to Boise. They never let Pocatello get into the game. The first game of the tourna- ment pitted the Skvline team against second-ranked Coeur d'Alene. It was a good game but Coeur d'Alene pulled it out by three in the last minute of the game. By losing the game, Skyline forced a game with Highland. After such a drain- ing and disappointing loss the day before Skyline just never got in the game. This ended the season for the team, giving them a seventh place finish in the state, even though they had a losing record. Showing the anxiety of a game-winning free throw is john Schofield. Looking for an open man while lmder heavy pressure is Evan Nelson. H U Getting set for the tip is Skyline's team as Cory Dennert goes up for the ball. Showing enthusiasm and support for the players on the court are the team's bench members. X The Best OI Times
