Basketball; 'Mfantastic! The varsity basketball team began their year by defeating Washington Cath- olic and continued their winning streak with a regu- lar season record of 19 un'ns and one loss and by win- ning the city championship. A major contribution to the team's success was Coach Jerrill Vandeventer. He was someone they could talk to when they needed someone there to listen. liCoach Vandeventer did a real nicejob of supporting the team; he was always there when we needed him, commented Kevin Tapp, junior. Coach Vandeventer was also able to pull the team together when a stroke of bad luck came their way. tTOP RlGl'lTl While looking for help, sophomore Brent Kell drib- bles past South Spenceris de- fense. lMlDDLEl Trying to defend his po- sition, senior Calbert Cheaney waits for a pass. iRlGHTl During the sectionals, senior Jay Stewart shoots a freeth- row. iFAR RlGHTl RESERVE BASKET- BALL: iFront Rowl T.

Ballard 6 Boys' Basketball To begin with, senior Carl Heldt contracted a case of mononucleosis, which kept him on the bench for ap- proximately three weeks. Then during the Warriors' only regular season loss against number one ranked team Terre Haute South, senior standout Calbert Cheaney broke his foot, causing him to be out of play for the rest of the sea- son. Cheaney commented, llWhen l was out of the game, the team continued playing well; they gave it their all and did their best. Concerning the sectional loss against Bosse, Cheaney said, llWe had a late start, and we just couldn't come back in timeli The reserve team had a successful season with a 16-4 record, same as last year's reserve team. The reserve team lost only one city game against Bosse. The freshman basketball team ended their season with seven wins and nine losses. By Cindi Newman

Cheerleaders sponsor workshop; money purchases new uniforms With the help of their new sponsors, the Cheerleaders had a very active year. For the third year in a row, the cheerleaders were without sponsors through- out the summer, but in ear- ly August, Mrs. JoAnn Rawl- ings and Ms. Susan Distler decided to take the job of sponsoring the 21 cheer- leaders.
