The Pan- thers' only league defeats were to Woodland and Castle Rock. In the first round of league play Castle Rock had to come from behind in the final period to defeat the Panthers and Woodland had to fight off the Panthers to maintain their small lead to win by five. In non-league action Washougal met three AA teams with little success. After losing to Camas and Evergreen, Washougal scored its only non-league victory with a 77-67 win over Battleground. The Raymond Gulls shattered the Panthers hopes of see- ing action in the state tournament with a hard fought 52-62 win, in which the Gulls did not take com- mand until the final minutes. Gary Steinmeyer, first team All-Trico, and De- Layne Brink, second team All-Trico, shared the hon- ors of being named inspirational player and honorary captain. Dan Amundson was named most improved player, Bill Seekins was given the hustle award and Gary Anderson received the free-throw award. Basketball 35
