School spirit peps up the basketball season It was so exciting I couldn't hear myself think! This is the way senior guard, Tony Terrazas, depicted the spectators' involve- ment at the Kankakee Holiday Boys' Varsity Basketball Tourna- ment in December. Led by Coach Jim Muir and As- sistant Coach Jim Snyder, the boys' varsity basketball team fin- ished the season with a record of 12 wins and 14 losses, giving them a 6th place finish in the SICA North Conference. Named to the all-conference team were Tony Terrazas and Bob Rudman. Perhaps the team's best show- ings were at the Kankakee Holi- day Tournmanet. With thunder- ously enthusiastic crowds back- ing them, the Thunderbirds placed second in the single-elimi- nation tourney. At the close of the competition, senior co-captains John Riester and Bob Rudman were announced to the all-tourna- ment squad. Attaining a record of 18 wins and 7 losses, the sophomore team shared the conference crown with Bloom. Co-captain Bob Rudman summed up the season with these reflections, At times we were able to work together, and per- form up to or above our potential.
