ON THE ROAD AND HOME AGAIN

A tough road season almost proved too much for Coach Bro v e 11 i ' s boys. The poor road showing dissipated an early 4-1 record. Despite inconsistent p 1a y, the Tore– ros sought a post-season berth. This season Coach Jim Brovelli broguht in several new players to replace familiar faces lost through gradua– tion. Each of the new players has been instrumental in cont rib u ting to the success enjoyed by the Toreros. Steve Honz added a rugged rebounder to the front line, Don Gibb an unerring shooting ability, and Gary Ely the extra dimension of intimidation through shot blocking. Eddie Davis dazzled crowds at every game with his uncannypassing, dribbling and running jump shots. These new faces combined with the steady improvement of Buzz Harnett and the always r e 1i a b 1e inspiration of Ken Smith. The s up po rt iv e efforts of Paul Meade and Mike Strode provided a most satisfying season for hope– ful Torero fans • The season was an improvement over the previous one as USO exemplified s om e of the com– petitive enthusiasm of Coach Jim Brovelli.
