For one thing. lone's Cardinal roundballers will have more quickness than they've ever had. lone is coming off a losing 811 season last year and this season doesn't promise a much better record. Two re turners come back as let termen for LaRue. The brother duo. Ashley and Kevin McCabe. will be the nucleus around a 21 man turnout in four grades at lone. lone has little height, except for 6-2 Rick Gilbert, a junior who has junior varsity ex perience. After that, the Cards will rely on speed and quick ness and put it in the shape of a strong defense. One senior, McCabe. three juniors, five sophomores and 12 freshmen will make up the Card roster. LaRue, in his sixth year at lone, had his first losing season last year. But, he sees quickness as the lone strong point and plans to capitalize on that avset.

Arlington's sports program has improved drastically in the last couple years to where the Honkers are considered the favorites with Helix, to win the Big Sky Conference Also on the Card schedule of league contents is I'mapine, a team they figure to stand up to They play each team three times.
