Basketball team goes through league in cellar Skyline's basketball team was not able to keep up with the caliber of talent in the Oakland Athletic League this year. Finishing last in OAL basketball, however, does not indicate a poor team. The Titans placed two men on the All-city team, Bill Belford and Henry Randolph. With only Greg Leonard and Marzine Parker returning from last year's varsity the Titan hoopsters lacked experience which may have lost them a few tight games. Returning to next year's varsity are Brian Chapman, Brad Hebert, Art Dinkins and Henry Randolph.

There was no score at halftime, but the offense scored 28 points while the stingy JV defense held Oakland scoreless in the second half. The Titan win was truly a team effort. After destroying all of their pre-season opponents, the junior varsity gridders powered their way to an excellent season which ended in a co-championship. In the Oakland Athletic League opener, the lV's shutout Tech, T4-0. The second game against Castlemont was tough, but the eager jV's pulled it out to win 21-24. Traveling to McClymonds, Skyline suffered a 22-24 upset by the Warriors. The final two games were at home, and with the championship in reach, the team fought its way to beat Fremont 36-6.
