JV BASKETBALL
Coach John Cunningham was faced
with a unique problem this year as
he
formed a first year JV squad. The task
proved rewarding as the Toreritos gained
strength during the season and finished
with an 18-8 record.
The squad looked toughest at the be–
ginning of the year when they won their
first five games, including big wins over
rivals San Diego State and Cal Western.
The Toreritos momentum slowed and
they lost six of their nine games. Finally,
though, the players began to play as a
unit and from that point until the end of
the season won ten games while losing
only two.
Leading the Toreritos in scoring was
frosh forward Steve Oberholser, the
team's captain, as he chalked up 375
points for a 14.4 average. The next closest
scorer was Benton White, another frosh
forward, who ended the season with 316
points and a 12.1 average.
Bob Gamble, John Boone, and
Nick
Nicassio, shared the starting guard roles.
Tim Groff, a 6-6 frosh, and Phil Hand, a
6-7 junior, served at center for the Torer–
itos. Groff led all rebounders with 264 in
25 games for a 10.6 average.
