A YIM OF FlIRSI! Titans win - first M.I.C. Coach Custer ' s varsity basketball team produced a year of first ' s for Taylor. Though the competition in the MIC was unusually strong, the Titans were undefeated against their MIC foes (5-0) and clearly victori- ous. The Titans broke or tied fifteen individual or team records: the most wins in the regular season (14), the most wins in a two year period (25), the first consecutive winning season, the most points scored in a season (1473 in 21 games), the most free throws in a season (327, old record 325 in ' 71 - ' 72), the most assists in a season (329, old record 314 in ' 80- ' 81), and the most steals in one game (23 vs. Cass). Individual records were broken by Ron Gamble for the most assists in a game (14 vs. Western); he also had the most assists in a season (183, old record 158 made by him in ' 80- ' 81) and in his career (341, old record 179 by Sam Dyche). Brian Roberts now has the current record for the best field goal percentage (60.1%) and Dwayne Dunlap tied the current re- cord for the most steals in one game (8) against Eastern. The sectional title seemed within reach, but even a disappointing loss in the first game against Western couldn ' t dim the triumph of the sea- son. We were proud to be a part of this year ' s basketball season and even prouder of the superior efforts of the ' 81 - ' 82 season. The acclaim and en- thusiasm brought to all of us by their accomplishments will be long remem- bered. Ron Gamble soars for two at Western. 66 Basketball

Shannon Adams, Coach Ha The Freshmen basketball leain fell short of a Howard County tourney championship in a close game against Western. Though the Titans man- aged to defeat them earlier in the sea- son, the Panthers proved to be well- prepared for a rematch. Mr. Harsh- man commented that he felt this had been his most gratifying season. It ' s easy to see why when you look at the list of accomplishments. Defeating Northwestern twice and shooting over fifty percent from the field were high points, not to mention Coach Harshman celebrated his 100th coaching victory. ivid Perry.
