BASKETBALL St. Joseph Basketball squad of '48, although placing sixth in the VPL race, were right in the midst of the fireworks all the way to end a somewhat successful season. Under the new coaching reins of Tom DePrekel, St. Mary alumnus, the Bucs combined a handful of small and semi-experienced players into a well balanced, fast fighting team. Feature games produced by the Buccaneers were with Saginaw, St. Mary, St. Andrew, and SS. Peter and Paul. Paving the way for the Buccaneers was forward, Al Soto, three-year letterman, who devel- oped into an outstanding ball player, specializing on defense and the backboards. He played his best games against the league leaders and pitched in with a total of 124 points for the season. Paired at the other starting forward position was Bill O'Brien, lanky Junior who showed his value through his fine floor play. His point total for the season was 78. John Passariello, starring Junior guard and also a three-year letterman, added speed to the squad. Although plagued with an off-season, he showed occasional signs of his scoring ability, totaling 147 for the season. Julian Soria, a pint-sized Sophomore, came up with some excellent floor play and some deadly accuracy on his shots to clinch the other guard berth. He scored 98 points. Thomas Laundra, husky center, standing only six feet, one, proved his worth by outiumping and outfighting taller opponents under the backboards. He was one of the main scoring threats also, notching 137 points for the year. The Reserves were headed by two Seniors, Floyd Gabrish and Chester Pawlik, who saw limited action but did well. Michael Guevara, Leo Casarez, and Cooper Orosco showed through their play that they will have something to say about who starts next year. After notching three consecutive non-league games, the Bucs dropped their first VPL game against St. Pete's 53-31, but came back to trounce Saginaw, St. Mary, 52-45. All title hopes were dismissed as the blue and gold lost two straight to Saginaw, St. Andrew, the last being a 25-21 thriller. After being set back by Bay City, St. James, 33-30, the Buccaneers gave SS. Peter and Paul a run for their money falling on the short end ofa 45-36 score. Producing such a good show- ing against the champions raised the hopes of the Buc rooters but again they fell on the job as they dropped the next two, to Bay City, St. Joseph and Saginaw, St. Mary to slump into 6th place. The District Tournament, March 4, 1948, the Buccaneers again suffered defeat at the hands of Saginaw, St. Mary, 45-37. The Seniors played their last game for St. Joseph with Al Soto notch- ing 16 points to lead the Bucs. Julian Soria, Mike Guevera, Cooper Orozco, Thomas Laundra, William O'Brien, John Passariello, Chester Pawlik, Albert Soto, Floyd Garbrish, Leo Casarez. Coach DePrekeI.
