Some of the Jackets' top players this year were seniors Jimmy Sutton and Ronnie Myers and sophomore Eddie Curry. Ronnie led the Varsity Jackets in scoring with an outstanding 148 baskets. Jimmy Sutton was second with 142 and Eddie was third with 61 baskets. Eddie Curry led the team in foul shots with thirty-six points while Scott Wallsinger and Ronnie Myers tied each other at thirty-four points. David Dickerson came next with twenty-eight foul shots. Ronnie Myers also led the team in rebounds with an excellent total of sixty-five. Jimmy Sutton jumped up for lorty-three big rebounds and David Dickerson stretched out for thirty-two. The Jackets look forward to next year's season with the return of Eddie Curry, Ed Bryant, and Scott Wallsinger whose excellence will hopefully make next year's season a success. 66
