The girls had a record of four wins and three losses. For the boys, they had a record of thirteen wins and four losses. Freshman Cori Henderson for the J.V. girls said, I thought we had a really good record and year. I thought Mr. Dixon was really patient during the whole season, which helped the team as a whole. Freshman, Leanne Thixton for the J.V. girls commented, Even though we were mostly freshmen with about three sophomores we did an excellent job. We worked together to win and succeeded! Mr. Dixon worked a lot with the Var- sity, but still took time out to work with the J.V. too. It paid off! I really think we had a successful year, we learned a lot and played really well together, and I think that this year will reflect on next year, said freshman, Eric Ramsey for the J.V. boys. Sophomore Greg Lutman for the J.V. boys stated, I think our team held together and worked together great, and that brought us a good record this year. Both teams had a winning record, and the members of both boys and girls J.V. are ready to have another winning record next year.

Junior, Biandon Boise jumps high, to get control of tlio ball. ,vhile Kevin Williams, from Oscoola, t:!so otternpfs to gain control. Winning year for varsity A winning season dominated the minds of the 87-88 varsity boys ' basketball team. Their over all record was 17-10. The games consisted of six home games and eleven away games. They played seven teams that were in the league and ten non-league teams. Defeating Climax Springs, Osceola, and fvlontrose led the Wildcats to win the Osceola tournament. This has been my most enjoyable year at coaching in the six years I have been a head coach. This group of players worked very hard both in season and out of season. As a group they are also very intelligent and receptive to learning the game. They achieved most of our goals for the 1987-88 season, and I am looking forward to the 1988-89 season, commented Coach Loren Burke. Junior Chad Eutsler stated, I feel that what I accomplished is I think I improved in many areas that will help me to be a better basketball player next year. Chris Thixton commented about the overall season, I was pretty proud of our season. We lost some close heartbreakers that would have made our record look better, but it (the season record) was the second best that Warsaw has had in the last fifteen years. People looked at us at the beginning of the season and didn ' t know what to expect, but our team played ball like we were capable of, and we put together a winner, Senior, Chris Thixton received many honors and awards. Some of the awards were First team all district, Kaysinger All Conference, Most Valuable Player-Tri County Conference, and the Truman Lake Most Valuable Player. Junior, Branden Boise also received some honors and awards. They included, the Tri-County con- ference honorable mention. Many of the team players felt they had a suc- cessful season, and those who will be on it next year are ready to improve and make another ouislanding winning season.
