With six returning sophomores on the team. Coach Larry Burch hopes his team will be able to improve on last year’s record of 22 wins and 7 losses. “After winning the con ference tournament last year, we are picked as favorites for the crown again this year ac cording to the rest of the coaches in the conference,” says Coach Burch. Coach Burch also had some comments on the team. “We have no really big men but we’ll be allright. All of them are hustlers. Along with the six returning we have some good freshmen coming in, but they are still untested. I’ll have all of the boys ready by No- vember 15 in the season’s op ener. I hope to improve the team everyday from now until November.” Coach Burch is much more optimistic about the team this year than he was at this time last year.
