The well-known fact that Mason always racks up the points in a ball game is proven by Jim Thiroop 6501, and again by Gary DeVar Gly, Roger Haley, and Jim Ravens C447. ..,A xx- -5'-114 km- -mg It iii' ' 'Tit Wfjer-fx ,tfif-'ni-237 .age , 41 3.1 , . v,...-,,.

Ninth Grade Basketball HSOI1 l'eCOl'Cl bl Ok9l'1 twice In any type of sport, winning is always im- portant, but Winning big is even better. The ninth grade basketball team discovered this quite frequently during the season by breaking Mason's high scoring record twicel The cagers, under the leadership of Coach Donald Castle, had a field day in a game against West Hills, defeating them 72-53. Then again, in an away game against West Bloom- field, Mason came out on top once more, 77-56. The Mariners finished the year with a fine record of 10-6. The prowess of the ninth graders' defense speaks for itself. Here Scott Follis, Jim Ravens 6441, Mike Shanks 1127, and Gary DeVar wait for the rebound. 104 Ninth Grade Basketball.

Missing from picture are Mark Collard, Mike atte . 106 It's a shame there's not a higher spot than number one, because once you've reached the top, you can't go any higher. ln their final game of the season Coach Iohn Saum and his energetic seventh grade team captured the first place title in their division by defeating Crary 38-12. And with a record of 9-1, how can you help being first? Victory abounds on Mason's courts, and While the eighth grade team couldn't clinch first place, they finished in a very satisfying second place with 7 Wins and 3 losses. The players, coached by Mr. Michael Miley, worked hard all year, and their near perfect results speak for themselves.
