The Ram Cagers Take It To The Hoop. Boys Basketball Led by Senior captain Jeff Carr, the Ram Hoopsters attained their third consecutive winning season with a 14 and II record. The Rams could have had a much better record but for the fact that they lost eight of those games by seven points or less. The Rams foul shooting and costly turnovers hurt in those games. Offensively the Rams were led by league All-Star Jeff Carr. Carr led the team in points and average (614-24.6). shooting percentage (232-9.3). Two other Seniors figured in team play. They were Trey Taylor who led the team in assists (86-4.3). despite missing five games with an injury, and Marc Dooner who tied for the team lead in steals (53-2.1). The balance of the Ram attack fell on the shoulders of numerous underclassmen. Junior Matt Cusano was second on the team in scoring (187-7.5) and rebounding (154-6.2) while leading the team in foul shooting (64.3%) while Sophomore Eric Driggs finished third in both categories. Junior Matt Cobb and Sophomores Tom Bennett were also instrumental in the Rams limited success as they filled their roles effectively. We will be graduating seven Seniors: Jeff Carr. Trey Taylor. Marc Dooner. Tim Burke. Mike Meteer. Bernie Kisner. and Mike Hemenway. They went through some adversity and they handled it as gentlemen. Through the good times and the bad times they remained loyal to their team and to their teammates. They will be missed because they were simply a good bunch of kids who enjoyed playing the game. This squad may not have pleased everybody. The important part is that they pleased themselves. They always went out and gave it their all. No matter the outcome, they walked with their heads up high ready to face the next challenge. As Mike Meteer said after our last game.
