Varsity Basketball Given Total Support
Plagued by sickness and injmies, the Bishop varsity was a slow team early in the season. Tidewater, Collegiate, and Holy Cross were heavy-loss games, and the team appeared to be losing hold of the '68 record. Led down the court by captains Wooty Peebles and Charles Green in the Episcopal High game, the tmning point toward a more successful season, however, came with a 53 to 45 victory over the Maroons. As Peebles put it, "The EHS game brought the team together. The win gave the team confidence it hadn't had before. Each of us was really proud of the school - the students, everybody. We baa the best possible support and were determined not to let the school down on that one."
