Sophomore Boys Have 12-6 Record for the Season The 1978 Sophomore boys basketball team's record of 12 wins and 6 losses tied them for the best record ever. Coach Wessel had a good sized team to work with, as 19 sophomores were out. The sophomores placed second in the conference, behind Linn Mar's record of 17-1 . Ron Downs led the team, averaging 20 points and 12 rebounds a game. The coach said one of the highlights of the season was beating the Regis team who had a record of 16-2, by 25 points. He added that his boys had a tremendous fast break, that quickness was one of their big assets, and that they should be a big help to the varsity team next year.
