156 The 1968-69 St. joe's junior Varsity cagers finished an injury-ridden year with a fine 15-6 record. The team had raced out to a 10-1 mark before Carl Mondoro, first string guard, suffered a broken thumb. Soon afterwards, the situation was complicated by the knee injury to Bob Kunkel, forward. Despite this, the team kept its poise, and went on to the final 15-6 mark. Under Mr. Fischer's leadership, a great balance was kept between offense and defense. The team held op- ponents to a mere average of 58.3, while the offense poured in 70.3 points per game. The loss of the two starters created a need for bench strength. The empty spaces were competently filled by Pete Slater, Bob Mika, and Ed Czech. Individual efforts were also balanced. Bill Mackinson led the scorers with 284 points, while doing a fine job under the boards at center. The forward positions were held by Bill Wetzel f212 pointsj and Bob Kunkel 1179 pointsj. Carl Mondoro Q236 pointsj and Gary Fulton Q154 pointsj turned in great performances at guard. Also seeing action during the season were Mike Coughlin, Ed Inglis, Don Goetz, Bob Cullinane, Bill Garcia, and Ken George. Judging from performances this year, the present j.V. members will serve the school well in future years. Biggest upset of year by St. joe's j.V., defeating Perth Amboy 72-62.
