T-BIRD QUINTET POSTS WORST YEARp 3-15 MARK he 1968-69 version of the Wasson basketball team emerged with a 3-15 record, the worst in Wasson history. The season, however, was not without its high points. ln the second game of the season the Birds downed Denver Kennedy 80-66 to place 4th in the Colorado Springs tournament. The B-ball men won their first league game of the season down in Trini- dad by defeating the Miners 88-59. ln their best game of the season the roundballers reached the century mark when they again defeated Trinidad - this time 103-72. Hustling all the time, the inexperienced quintet gave many highly ranked teams a run for their bas- ket. ln one of the most exciting games of the season the Thunderbirds lost a squeaker to Mitchell, 60-57. Another heartbreaker saw the Birds leading first-place Central by 15 points at the half. The team, however, couldn't hold on to their lead and lost the game in the fourth quarter. Coach Falgien said of his varsity, They are green, but they'll learn. The team leaned heavily on juniors, as four were on the starting line-up. Junior Mike Chaussee finished the season with 286 points, which placed in seventh in over-all S.C.L. scoring. With the experience this year's team has gained, the outlook for the future is excellent.
