Yugoslavia Vs. WPC On November 26 the Yugoslavian Basketball team came to Wayne Val- ley High School to play the Pioneers in a pre-season exhibition game. Pre- game ticket sales went badly, but as game time drew near, the stands filled up. By tip-off time, the stands were filled to their 2,500 people capacity. The game started off on an unexpected note, as the Pioneers came out charging, building up a sur- prising lead in the first ten minutes. The fans weren t all for WPC how- ever. A very large and very vocal group gathered behind the visitors bench yelling a one word Yugoslavian slogan, and putting the WPC fans to shame. The height advantage of the Slavs finally proved to be too much, defeating the Pioneers 79-74, not bad considering the WPC team was a 28 point pre-game underdog. Head Coach, John Adams, saw the game play as an indication of the future season ' s play. He experi- mented a lot but wasn ' t satisfied with the defense, I wasn ' t as happy as I could have been about our full court press. When asked about the Yugo- slavian team he said, They are a really fine club, but they had to be a little tired after playing so many games in so few days. We were not that physical and we were hurt by height and inexperience. 6 ' I0 Rich Barrett was really hurt during the game, damaging the cartilage in his left knee. After the game the teams came back to WCP for a late night, early Thanksgiving meal. Both teams had only good things to say about each other. The whole atmosphere was an uplifting experience for the Pioneers. The larger than expected crowd, the better than expected play, and closer than expected score made for an evening that no one will soon forget.
