BASKETBALL CRGERS EnO PLRV DiJiimG PRE-DI5TRICT 111 LOSIRG TRLLV Even with the return of eleven seniors, the Churchill varsity basketball team had a discouraging 10-11 winloss record in pre-district play. Coach Gerald Adams attributed the record to a lack of speed and experience. Although the preseason record of the roundballers was rather unpromising, the team improved rapidly during pre- season play, said Coach Adams, head basketball coach. The team made the greatest improvement in their defensive play, he explained. One of the biggest problems that faced the team, said Coach Adams, was the cagers ' lack of practical playing experi- ence. Eleven seniors returned, but only two of them lettered last year, com- mented Coach Adams. The cagers ' record also was hurt by their lack of speed on the court, said John Locus, team manager. This was also one of the major contributing factors n the team ' s preseason losses. Coach Adams commented. (B) Shooting from the three sec- orid zone.

CflGERSBEGOmE COnTEHDERS FOR DISTRICT RRCE For the first time, members of the boys ' varsity basketball team became district contenders and almost won a playoff berth, said Mr. Gerald Adams, first-year head coach. Throughout the year, the team improved, said Coach Adams, but the biggest improvement was in the team ' s ability to win close games. During the first half, the Chargers had a 4-3 win-loss record but all of the games were lost by less than three baskets and two were lost in overtime, explained Coach Adams. However, during the second half of district play, the Chargers improved to a 5-2 winloss record losing only the first and last games. The loss to Seguin at the end of the season kept the cagers from being sec- ond half champions and having a playoff berth. It was a real heartbreaker for the team, said Coach Adams. The talent on our squad was evident and the judges for the All-Tournament thought so, said Coach Adams, because they selected Alan Catalani, Matt Tokhiem and John Williamson for the All-Tournament team.
