Kodiak JV’s Set
Record Win Mark
Boasting the best win-loss re
cord of any Junior Varsity team in
the school’s history, the Kodiak
J. V.’s gained win number seven
last Friday night as they trounced
the High School Independents by a
score of 49-40 and avenged their
only loss of the season suffered
earlier.
Led by Richard Lowery’s 13
points and stellar defensive play,
the J.V.’s moved into a 21-19 half
time lead and were never there
after threatened.
Tom McCormick chipped in with
12 points and with Kozak’s 9, these
were enough to overshadow Nel
son’s 14 and Brown’s 12 of the In
dependents.
Bears Best Alumni
Finally hitting the victory trail
last Friday night, the Kodiak High
School Bears overwhelmed a spirit
ed Alumni team by a score of 56-47,
with high hopes of keeping this
winning margin as they meet the
Palmer Moose this weekend.
The Bears moved to a first quar
ter lead of 15-14 and were never
herded. John Michell’s 16 points
and Hugh Devlin’s 14 put the Bears
in a commanding 36-28 lead at the
half-time mark.
Led by former Bears Danny 01
son and Milton Souter, the Alumni
just didn’t have the teamwork and
condition necessary to stand up un
der the fired-up high school quin
tet.
Other members of the Alumni
squad were Alan Austerman,
Rhienhard Biermanski, Courtney
Starbird, Bob Richmond, George
Kemper and Jerry Chaffin.
The Bears travel to Palmer this
weekend to meet the Palmer Moose
in a two game series.
