The 1968-69 St. -Ioseph's Freshman Basketball Team completed a tough schedule with a respectable 8-9 record. Due to a lack of a really big man, a tre- mendous amount of hustle was displayed by the team. The Frosh were an explosive club capable of produc- ing as many as 31 points in a quarter but were plagued by cold quarters of only 4 points. Laden with individual talents, the Fledgling Fal- cons had many offensive and defensive stars. Jeff Wenzel was the team's high scorer with an average of nearly 20 points a game. Steve Larkin was also an outstanding shooter and contributed many vital baskets to the Falcon cause. A capable rebounder for the Frosh was Bill Mizerak. He has a great jumping ability and dominated the boards for the Falcons in every game. The defense was led by the fantastic ball- hawking of Larry Takacs. His tight defense forced many turnovers which were converted into points for the Frosh. With great talents such as these, Mr. Lyons is confi- dent that the Frosh will keep the winning basketball tradition here at St. Joe's.
