Team’s Dreams Die Hard Although the Trojan boys basketball team ended the season with a winning record of 14 wins and 7 losses, the dreams of the 1983-84 season were not completely ful- filled. Coach Morris accurately stated. We had an abundance of physical talent, but lacked total commitment, and I was not able to mold the talent into a team for any length of time.' The 1983 84 season marked the first time in three years that the team did not ad vance to the state playoffs. Unfortunate- ly. the team was defeated in the first round of sub-state by the Meade Buffa loes. We must give some credit to the other teams in the Hi Plains League for their basketball talent for the 1983-84 sea- son.” commented Coach Morris. Bryan Zollinger represented the Troian team in the Dodge City Boothill Classic basketball game. Bryan also made All League and honorable mention All-State. Readier the free throw rebound.
