White, Lovett, Bates Gain All-Star Honors

as Barons Compile Brilliant 18-3 Record

All-Conference, All-Tournament,
and All-Europe honors fell like rain on
the Bitburg Barons this season as the
highly praised quintet posted an 18-3
season’s record.
Dennis White got the “ honors
parade” started when he was selected
to the Coaches’ All-Conference dream
team. Then he was joined by Bob
Lovett and Lee Bates on the Class A
tournament All-Star team.
However, honors for the Barons
didn’t stop there. White was named to
the Stars and Stnpes “All-Europe” bas­
ketball quintet for the second consecu­
tive year. And he was joined on that
elite unit by teammate Lovett.
It was only the second year in the
history of the All-Europe selection that
Bitburg has placed more than one on
the dream team.
White and Lovett were the tenth Bit­
burg players to be so honored in the
past 10 years.
Bitburg’s high-scoring, 6-4 guard, in
being named to all three cage all-star
teams, repeated the honors he gained
last year as a junior.
