G-men to utilize speed
by Steve Johnson
With six returning lettermen
from last year’s State champion
ship team, the Varsity basketball
squad has begun preparations to
defend their crown.
Senior Artie Wilson, a great
leaper, heads the list of indi
viduals turning out for the
squad. He is the only returning
starter and was selected to the
Honorable Mention portion of
last year’s All City team, as a
guard.
At the post positions, senior
Steve Crane and June Jones, a
junior, seem to have the inside
track. Crane is an excellent shot
and was a part-time starter a
year ago. Jones played on the
JV team last year, but during
the State Tournament, he played
Varsity and showed great prom
ise.
Versatile Robin Sinclair will
probably start at one of the other
guard spots. Tim Myers, a speed
ster, ball-hawking Jackie Chinn,
and defensive ace Dan Percich
are battling it out for the third
guard position.
Others out for the varsity
squad include seniors Steve
Hopkins, Jerry Dukes, and Greg
Schukart. Juniors out for the
team are Tim Stambaugh, Steve
Russell, Dave Poppinga, Pat
Walker, and Eddie Lincoln.
