The freshman cagers had an extremely exciting and successful sea- son. Not only was their record stellar at 12-2, they capped off their season with the S.A.C title in hand. Under the guidance of Coach John- son, the reserves had a few problems. Although they didn't have the record of the freshman squad, they had their reasons. The starters at the beginning of the season were pulled from the line- up to fill vacancies in the varsity squad. Because of this, the reserves had their problems getting together as a team. The future is a whole new story. The number one freshman team in the city will be moving up next year, and some players who would normally play re- serve got some valuable varsity experi- ence. These two facts combined brighten the future of girls basketball for South Side. - Marty Byro C Reserveffreshmon G-irl's Bdskeiboll 39

The only returning letter winner for the lady cagers was senior Sheila Weir. This young team, though fighting val- iantly to the end, finished the season with a 4-11 record. After finishing his second year of coaching, Coach Walker commented, The team learned a lot this year, and l'm looking forward to a much brighter season next year. What season couldn't be better after facing Nor- throp, state champs and winner of over 50 games, two times in a row? 38 - Varsity Girls Basketball South will only be losing two seniors this year in Kelly Heingartner and Shei- la Weir. This fact means that little expe- rience is being lost and that those who will be playing next year had some time to play this year as well. Another bright spot would have to be the freshman team which had a 12-2 record and at- tained the title of city champs. All in all, the team showed good sportsmanship and determination. Hopefully, the team will be able to achieve a winning season next year by benefitting from the experience gained this year. - Marty Byro Varsity Girl's Basketball Opponent Them Us Norwell 44 40 Marion 56 36 Heritage 56 34 Homestead 36 55 North Side 37 31 Harding 33 44 Dwenger 76 26 Wayne 64 31 Elmhurst 43 47 Luers 57 31 Snider 62 32 Concordia 54 56 O,T, Northrop 83 21 Leo 35 27 Northrop Csecj 70 34 Overall Record 4-11 Sophomore Zanzy Moore leaves the hind as she finishes up a fast break!

Even though the 1986-87 South Side basketball team was rather young and inexperienced, they turned out to be a tough team to beat. The team had only three re- turning Iettermen, and the top three scorers from last year's team were gone due to graduation. Although last year's seniors didn't lead the team to the top of the S.A.C., the loss of their experience seemed to doom this year's team. The three returning lettermen were Jesse White, Mike Hollingsworth, and Rog- er Woods. The addition of junior O.J. Bonner and sophomore Adrian Ma- ble into the starting line-up and the help of juniors Ziggy Arrington and James Woods, sophomore Clifford Cleveland and senior Rod Ahlers- meyer gave this year's squad a much better season. The cagers started the season out by sweeping the Huntinton Tip-Off Classic with two impressive wins over Huntington North and Concor- dia. Victories over two state-ranked teams, Harding and Anderson High- land, Brought much respect and rec- ognition to the Archers. Added rec- ognition came when junior O.J. Bonner and Jesse White were named Players-Of-The-Week by the News Sentinel and Coach Flynn was named twice as the Coach-Of-The- Week. A strong defense plus an even stronger inside game proved to be the strengths of this team. Opposing teams had several difficulties when playing the Archers on their home floor behind the crazy fans of Sec- tion Under the inspired guid- ance of Coach Flynn, The Archer basketball team brought back mem- ories of the good old days of Archer basketball. With seven returning var- sity players andthe addition of play- ers from the strong 1986-87 reserve team, the good old days are here to stay.
