Page 7 Lions’ basketball season starts by Tony Hahn On Friday, November 16, the Hazleton basketball team played their first home game against Central Penn College. The winner would be scheduled to play the next day for the championship of the M.L. Shaevel Memorial Tournament In celebration of the first home game, all lights were turned out in the gym. At that time, the players of both teams and cheerleaders were introduced. After the playing of the national anthem, the game began. From beginning to end, Hazleton controlled every aspect of the game. Offensively, the Lions were nearly perfect. At 6’2”, Brian Billig was able to draw fouls and shoot with precision from the line, sinking nearly every shot Scott Answini, along with the rest of the starters, built a decent lead by the time head coach Tom Caccese began substituting players. The subs did an excellent job fresh off the bench, and extended the Lions' lead. With the offense scoring easily and controlling Penn State Haz/eton Campus Resident Assistant Applications Minimum requirements for the Resident Assistant Program: 1.

Defensively, the Lions forced Central Penn to shoot poorly and receive many low percentage shots. The swarming defense kept Central Penn off-balance and out of the rhythm. In their season opener, the Lions played a flawless game to the delight of the fans. Unfortunately, the Lions played a different game in the championship that Saturday. Against Luzerne, the offen sive game plan stalled, and Penn State 450-3070 or 450-3066 with success lost in overtime 77-75. Although the Lions played a good defensive game, their offense could not produce another win. Looking into the future, if the Lions play consistently, they should have an excellent season. This year, the sche dule consists of 25 games. If a good record is achieved, I believe that Haz leton will participate in the East Regionals, Final Four, and the Sta tewide Championship.
