Sophs Learn Fundamentals While Reserves Increase Gridiron Skills Capably guided by Mr. Scott and Mr. Wright, Wilson's sophomore football team won six games and lost two. The sophomores practiced separately from the varsity teams and concerned themselves more with the develop- ment of fundamentals than with actual competition. Through basic drills, scrimmage, and games with other schools, the players developed their individual and team skills. Sophomore players who did well this year were Al Ross, Bill Taylor, Ron Lunceford, Al Hemminger, Don Woyen, Rob Visser and Cal Jackson. Six wins and one loss marked the T964 reserve football team's season. Besides compiling this fine record, the team played against the varsity team during practice sessions. Here, reserve players gained valuable experi- ence, and at the same time helped the varsity members. According to Coach Stortini, this year's team displayed exceptional spirit in both areas. Players who showed outstanding ability and who should help next year's varsity were Keith Wohlford, Danny Murphy, Doug Henshaw, Mike Spangler, and Dave T. J. Voss. f Front row: R. Pleiss, S.

72 A L Jack Hadland Rich Mayo Bob Kemmer Dennis Moon Dave Voss Center Center Forward Forward Forward Basketball Team Shows Improvement- Barely Misses Second Place Jack Hadland shoots over the head of his opponent. A slow start and a fast finish characterized Wilson's basketball team this season. Except for Mt. Tahoma, which had a perfect record, the Ram quintet avenged all of its early season losses. Second place barely escaped the grasp of the victory-hungry Rams. Junior Clyde Werner led the team in rebound- ing with an average of lO.4 per game. Ron Jackman, iunior transfer student, averaged ll.2 points per game and led the team in free throw percentages with 70 per cent. Jim Hansson, senior guard, led in assists and often sank field goals from twenty or thirty feet. Jack Hadland tied with Dave Voss for the best field goal per- centage and was second in rebounding. Voss placed second in free throw percentages. Capital League League Season W L W L Mt. Tahoma I0 0 20 0 Stadium 6 4 12 3 Wilson 5 5 9 l l West Bremerton 4 6 9 l l Lincoln 3 7 5 15 Bellarmine 2 8 4 16
