Sophs Toil Through Rugged Season After expecting to take first place in the PSL, the frosh-soph team was very disappointed this season. Despite good teamwork and height they just could not match their freshman record. lVlr. Hui- zenga, their coach of last year also, had high expectations for the season. The team started out well, compiling a 5-l record before injuries took their toll. The team won only four more games after that, while losing ten. They ended with a 9-ll overall record and a 7-7 record in the PSL. The team had some good chances to win more games, but just couldn't rise to the occasion. They lost three games in overtime, including their last holiday tournament game. However, the team did come up with a strong finish, they played their final game better than any other and had few- er errors, better rebounding, and more aggressiveness. N S Checking over the team's uniforms, Earl Nicodem prepares for the tournament game. In hopes of a smashing victory for the frosh on the board ilsl S I as A Showing his athletic ability, Ben Ridder jumps high to block a shot by a St. Mel player.

Varsity Jells into The varsity basketball team began the season by winning the title in the PSL tournament. During this tournament they defeated Chicago Christian, the only PSL team to do so throughout the entire season. The team was taller than it has been in recent years. This was an asset that enabled them to finish second in the PSL, The Timothy holi- day tournament was disappointing be- cause the Trojans finished third, but the experience gained was helpful in preparing for the state tournament Solid Team later in the year. For the first time, the IHSA tournament was split into two divisions, Class A and AA. Timothy competed only against class A schools, those with an enrollment of 750 or less. The area class A regionals were hosted by Timothy. The team made a strong showing in regional competition, de- feating lmmaculate Conception by two points in the first game. However they were defeated in the final game by St. Mel, losing 57 to 49 in double overtime.
