Mark Allen earned the MVP Award at the Christ- mas Tournament while Larry Hotaling made the All-Star Team. The team accomplished an excellent showing as they defeated Clinton. Clinton pre- viously ranked No. 1 in the state and had won 34 games straight. With Captains Ted Matwijec and Mark Allen, the team was a very coachable group of talented players, according to Coach Denby. With three games yet to play, their record was 11 wins and three losses, to place them fourth in the Tri-Valley League. Despite a disappointing record, the JV Basket- ball team had a decent season. It was a rather small team in stature, slow afoot, with average shooting ability. The high point of the season was back-to-back wins over Camden and Holland Patent which raised their record at the time to 5-3. The team, lead by Captain Tom Maciag, who was MVP, finished with a 7-11 record overall. Most improved player was Paul Janowski VARSITY BASKETBALL Opponent Home Frankfort-Schuyler 52 82 Canastota 63 84 Cazenovia 56 73 Chittenango Christmas Tournament 70 54 Kennedy 51 78 Bishop Grimes 45 57 Clinton 71 61 Camden 49 93 Holland Patent 62 59 Oneida 57 83 Canastota 61 72 Frankfort-Schuyler 52 63 Clinton 52 53 Camden 42 63 Holland Patent 60 79 Oneida 65 58 Chittenango 58 57 Phoenix 62 61 77
