This left Chad Salisbury and Nick Sward and newcomer Mike Kemp to replace Steve's empty shoes. With Steve leaving it meant the team had to work harder and together more, and they seemed to accomplish this by their record of 17-3. This year was a lot of fun. I learned a lot of valuable lessons and I'm looking forward to next year ' says Matt Bedell, a sophomore starter. Two of the team's three losses were by less than two points. The attack of the Chiefs was led by sophomore Steve Nicholson and Chad Salisbury. The most exciting game of the season was the game at Schoolcraft when all five of the starters fouled out in a double over time situation. The team ended up losing by one point.

The schools they beat were class A and B schools. The Class A school they defeated was Portage Northern, while they split games with Class B Coldwater. The game they lost was in overtime and by a basket. The team pulled together and worked hard as a team, quoted player Eric Hackman. The team's record was 11-9 which doesn't show the actual potential of the team. Most of the games lost by the freshmen were by two or four point deficits.
