The Key Although two key players were plagued by injuries in the first half of the cam- paign, the young Warriors managed to perform well. The team was able to keep close in most of its games, winning two contests on last second shots. Tournament experience at Bradley and Central along with an in- grained concept of teamwork both combined to help the squad get ready for its fu- ture varsity career. john Sloter is outjumped by his I-Ierscher opponent. 98 Varsity Basketball Teamwork To ophomore Campaign Kent Seggebruch goes inside for the shot as teammates Don Schultz 1501 and Al Purdin 4303 look on. 33 Simultaneously, Kirk Schroeder shoots the ball and trips over a I-Ierscher opponent. at. 62 63 39 42 55 44 51 63 59 42 48 57 49 55 51 46 45 50 51 49 OPP- W 39 Central 42 Chicago Steinmetz 55 Gibson City 56 Schlarman 44 South Newton 43 McNamara 35 St. Anne 69 Georgetown 55 I-Ioopeston 56 Westville 44 I-Ierscher 55 Gibson City 57 Paxton 551 Schlarman 46 Georgetown 61 Hoopeston 46 Westville 55 Paxton 61 McNamara 69 Bradley Wim 10 Losses 10

Frosh Warriors Play Best Ball Early For the first time in Coach Ken Decker's three-year Freshman coaching career, one of his Freshman basket- ball teams failed to Win the Wauseca Conference Fresh- man Tournament. His two teams both peaked early but still managed to have suc- cessful seasons and subse- quently gain a lot of valuable experience. In his practices Coach Deck- er utilized many group and individual drills to help each player improve and become a better participant in a very competitive sport. Rick I-lolaway breaks away from two Dwight players to blast up for an easy layup. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL-FRONT ROW-jerry Myers, Don Jensen, Tim Long, jerry Coleman, Gary Duden, Brian Hauck.
