The season, how- ever, had its high points. The Irish defeated Nixa for the first time in three years. After trailing by as much as 17 points in the third quarter, the Irish propelled them- selves into the lead - with two minutes remaining and held on to win 59-58. The Irish were led by 6'1 three-year letterman Reggie Ver- furth with an average of 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. Mike Healey, 6'4 senior center, played organized basketball for the first time, came on to help lead the Irish, both defensively and offen- sively. Dan Eck, 5'11 senior guard, started spontaneously and always gave the Irish a lift. The basketball season, however, was marred by the loss of two juniors, Kelly Verfurth and Steve Sullivan. The loss affected the Irishg it gave the younger players more playing time. We feel as though the Irish have a bright future ahead of them.

The Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleaders were sponsored by Mrs. Peggy Kubicek. This year the cheerleaders were given a new responsibility, which was to organize assemblies. They also decorated the basketball players, lockers for homecoming, and had a car wash last summer to raise money for their cheerleading camp which was held in Columbia, Mo., at the University of Missouri. The Freshman cheer- leaders were kept well disciplined by their sponsor, Ms. Tucker. They had aixpep club and helped promote spirit atf the Freshman basketball games. sem me ELVULHUU 1 ,. M , 1 .
