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."

Mark Brennan F 6'3" Hazleton High School
