The Highacres Collegian. Condors anxious for opener When the Hazleton Campus Condors take to the basketball court this year they will be entering their 47th season of intercollegiate play. Throughout those forty-seven years the Highacre teams have compiled a record of 266 wins and 261 losses. Last year the Condors sported an overall record of 15 wins and nine losses. In league action they won eight•games while losing six. On offense the team averaged 69 points per game, while on defense they allowed their opponents just 57 points per game. Their defensive average was tops in the league and Hazieton's best since 1949. This year one of the team's goals is a defensive average of fifty-five points per game. Regarding this year's team, Coach Tom Caccese, who has been the head mentor for nine years, says, "Although the team may not have a lot of height, they do have plenty of talent and speed. The men all have a good attitude and are anxiously awaiting the start of the season. Furthermore, this year's team boasts some outstanding shooters . . . something we lacked last season." Only four players are returning from last year's squad. Leading them is the Captain Lenny Kott. Last year Kott was the second leading scorer for the Condors pumping in a total of 272 points with an average of 11.3 points per game. His field goal percen tage-49%—was the top mark in the league. Kott echoes his coach's sentiments about the team, "Everyone has a really good attitude along with plenty of spirit. We all seem to be getting along well with each other and this will be a big help. Because if we all play together we stand a better chance of winning." Brad Guise, Mark Kolbush, and Steve Markle are the other returnees. All four, according to Coach Caccese, "should provide a nucleus of maturity which will help guide the team."
