Even though we lost, we all felt like winners, said Matt Cernosek, junior post, ofthe season game. The Cougars came off that game with an ending to one of the best seasons in the school's basketball history. They had the most wins ever by a Clark team with a district record of 142 and a season record of 28-8. We all had the same goal at the beginning ofthe season: Give it all we had and don't ever let up, said Reagan Frieling, junior. The team was significant in another way. They had three players who recieved post season honors. Mike Houlihan, senior, was leader of the pack when it came to recognition. He was named first team all- district, second team all-city and second team all region. He was also selected for the McDonald's all- American team, Optimist Classic all tournament team, the San Antonio All-Star team which played in Phoenix, Arizona, in April, and the Nemo Herrera All Star Scholarship team. Despite the predictions of watching closely, Dwayne Pedroza, senior, prepares to recove. a rebound oft of the opponent pi sts! sl L wg.-L pre-season statistics, we expected to come out on top, said Houlihan, lt just goes to show you that hard work and determination pays off, and in our case it not only paid off, but it also made school history. Another senior player, Chad Heller, made first team all-district, honorable mention all-city, and played with the San Antonio All-Stars in Phoenix. We were the closest team that l've ever seen. We all wanted to be champions, said Heller. Basket- ball had never recieved as much attention has it deserves, until this year, and that helps so much. Dwayne Pedroza, senior guard, was named tothe second team all-district, as well as the Northside ln- dependent School District all tournament team. Dwayne credited the coach with the success of the team. We had an excellent team that was willing to work hard for many hours a day, but we couldn't have done it without Coach Murphy. He helped us accomplish a dream that many thought could never happen. We owe him alot. All in all, with the Cougars advancing through bi- district and area playoffs, and finishing the season in the regional finals, the season was one to remember. This year's team is just a stepping stone to what's ahead, said Murphy. -Victor Pisano 0 f ' x- x ' ' K' . - il 5 - ' ' s , A 4 NT E 'V 3 , If ibvwa , . ' - ,A J, use -K , v . ll a, f f 5 W ' r ' .
