Kardinals Play Wasilla
Friday, Saturday at Kenai
What are likely to be the fast
est and most interesting games
of the season ace in store for
basketball fans this weekend at
Kenai, if predictions of the Kenai
coach, Jim Everson, are to be
considered. Wasilla and Kenai
highschool teams will shoot for
goals on the Kenai highschool
courts Friday night and again on
Saturday night.
“Wasilla teams play an ex
ceedingly swift, exciting game,
with fast breaks and a pressing
style of defense. It should be
fun to watch,” says Evenson.
Kenai Kardinals bested Wasil
la by over 20 points on each of
the two nights last year. The Wa
silla team this year, however,
has all of its players back and
they ace experienced and work
well together, the Kenai coach
added.
Varsity and junior varsity
games will be played on both
Friday and Saturday nights.
“Alaska is unique in this home
and home basis of play when
teams stay for two nights in a
row.” Evenson said.
“Student Council members ar
range to house the players in
homes of high school students.
The same procedure will be fol
lowed with Kenai teams playing
away from home. As far as I
can learn, Alaska is the only
state which follows this plan.”
Varsity Basketball team mem
bers this year are:
Larry Van Sky, manager; Ross
Cooper, Charles Jackson, M i k e
Tnuriainen. Larry Jordan, Cary
Davis, Larry Erickson, John
Monfor. Ernie Fletcher, Mike Mc
Guire, Gary Martin.
Varsity Cheer! iders are:
Lome Lancashire. Adrainne
Brown, Sue Eriwein, Gloria Coop
er, Leslie Brown.
.Jr. Varsity Cheercleaders are:
Leona Graff. Cindy Griffin,
Carla Seaman, Connie George and
Pat Caton.
Is® Skaters
Children ice skating- down the
middle of the Sterling highway
pointed up the driving conditions
last Wednesday night when a
freezing rain fell throughout the
area from Kenai to Cooper Land
ing.
Snowfall of more than 7 inches
followed by rain Tuesday resulted
in hazardous driving conditions
for Peninsula motorists. Despite
the glare ice on some portions of
the highways, few accidents re
sulted in major damag ■, although
many cars and trucks slid into
ditches.
One trucker reported more than
30 autos off the road or stopped
by ice between Coopers Landing
and Kenai.
Federal Aviation Authority of
