Riverside basketballers promising
By Gary Gordanier
This year's Riverside High
School varsity basketball
team promises to be one of the
best ever with nine letterman
returning, four of whom were
starters last year.
The Pirates will have good
shooting ability, speed and
quickness according to Coach
Larry French.
Senior Steve Dalton, a first
team Columbia Basin Confer
ence all-star last year, is the
team captain for this season.
The rest of the team
includes seniors Tracy John
son, Joe Daltoso, Sam Griffin,
Stacy Coleman, Rick Petti
grew, Greg Tarpenning, Dave
Cooley and Gary Gordanier.
Juniors on the varsity include
Scott Daniels, Lerry Wilson
and Jim Peck.
The Pirates plan to utilize a
similar defense as last season
mixing man-to-man with a 2-3
zone.
Offensively, a variety of
patterns will be used depend
ing on the opponent's defen
sive sets.
Coach French said the key
to the season will be "our
consistency" this year.
"If we execute consistently,
we will always be the deciding
factor in the outcome of our
game," he said. "We have the
experience, the talent and the
capability."
French pointed out that the
team needs to be ready
mentally at all times during
the season and play each
game one at a time.
RHS women confident
By Mari Kvans
"The team is confident,
relaxes and not afraid to shoot
the ball," according to River
side High School Coach Nancy
Myklebust about her girls'
varsity team.
"They are giving it their
best and they have improved
tremendously in their passing
skills. The team is young but
makes up for it with each
girls' skill and knowledge,"
she added.
The varsity team consists of
10 girls, four of whom are
returning lettermen. There
are no seniors on the team.
Returning junior lettermen
are Jyl Hobbs, Yvonne Gil
liam, Karen Harding and Sue
Stubblefield, a sophomore this
year, lettered as a freshmen in
1978-79.
The team is probably quick
er and more aggressive than
in previous years but the lack
of height and experience are
two setbacks the team will
have to overcome, the The
girls exhibit high interest and
enthusiasm which will make
way for a fun year of hard
work for the upcoming season,
the coach said.
