Alcalá 1968

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.
