I S L A M D U N K ! T he n ew faces in the Titan baske t ba ll p r og r am not only include the ones of sophomo r e s, but also t hose of Terry O ' Do n n e ll and Tony LaSca l a, the n ew coaches of Titan Varsity Basketball. Und er the leadership of Coach O ' Do n n e ll and Coa ch LaSca l a, there is a general conc en s us of h i gh t e am spirit and bond i ng. As j un i or starter Et han Wozn i ak commen t ed, "Our n ew coaches are great guys, and they bonded ve ry we ll wi th the t e am." Throughout the two-hour practices, seven days a week, the team learned to work together and construct a solid style of play. Their hard work and team enthusiasm paid off throughout the season, as their exciting performances proved. Keeping close to the opposition always kept Titan fans short of breath, and made the games a pleasure to attend. The highlights of the season included the first riveting home game, in which Varsity won against Ottawa- Marquette in overtime. This exciting game helped the team get off to a fast start. As Captain Dave Yang commented, "We came across some difficultires, but now we ' ve regrouped and expect to finish off the season strong."
