Panthers Jump To Early Lead

The Varsity Basketball season began
quickly as the senior-based team
moved out to an early lead. The
starting players who had played
together for years, the support of the
enthusiastic Varsity Club, and the
coaching of Mr. Bill Rousseau, were
all factors which contributed to the
team's fast start. The team won
important games against Highlands
Christian and Belen by narrow
margins, and they went on to win
eight of their first nine games.

Brett Lucas, the second leading scorer
in team history, led the Panthers with
a total of 384 points during the season,
an average of 18.3 points per game.
Harry Barnett was not far behind
with 382 points, an average of 14.2
points per game. The other three
starters - Mitch Lasky, Pete Carney,
and Dave Krunic - all contributed to
the well balanced team.

JUMPING HIGH, senior Brett Lucas, the
