JV and Freshman do their best The Junior Varsity and Freshmen Boys Basketball teams, both did fairly well this year. The JV ended their season with a 9-12 record, while the freshman stood proudly with an 8-8 record. Both coaches felt that much athletic ability was displayed on both teams. 4s most teams, our JV and freshman teams had a few players that seemed to shine above the rest. The freshman team seemed to be dominat- ed by three talented young men. Matt Ruckle, who was very dedi- cated and exerted a lot of potential, Mark Kochenderfer, who was a hard worker and definitely had the size, and Buck Clark, who the coach felt had a tremendous amount of athletic ability if channeled in the right direction. Juniors, Charles, Lloyd, Eddie Carr, and Kent Taylor seemed to be a very strong force, while along the side of their teammates Sophomores Greg Evans. Duane Dilly, and Matt Poling. Both teams attended tournaments, in which the freshmen visited the PVC, and the JV attended the Petersburg Invitational. The freshmen made it to the second round of their tournament, and the JV became runners-up in the championship. There are a lot of faces, you'll see on Varsity next year, if they continue to work hard, and prove to Coach Gutshall, that they are Keeping the Pace! . Good Luck Guys!!!! You'll need it and lots of dedication to make Varsity. JV Basketball Team: FRONT: Dale Jones, Eddie Carr.
