The Warriors, under the direction of Coach Dick Conolly, who was assisted by Brian Gladwell and Hal Lewis, concluded what most Weber fans felt was an unforgettable year. After struggling, but learning, - - irJtZ 93SSS SEJK I WtT " tssssi through the first seven games, Conolly and his troops found the win column untouched. Before the preseason came to a final close, they had managed a couple of wins, but with a 7 record, many people were murmuring. But amidst all the murmuring, Conolly was poised and his team seemed to gain more majority every time they took the floor. And when it really counted, Weber made it happen. The Warriors posted seven victories along the Region One battleroad and ended with only three defeats to emerge as the 1980 Region One champions. Last week in the schools annual 2-- basketball banquet, parents, ad- ministration, and friends paid tribute to a team that stuck it out, eventually to become a champion. Condusted by Parker Rao Parker, who holds the highest administrative position at Weber High School, was asked by Conolly to MC the banquet. Parker blended plenty of humor and seriou thought to almost get himself back next year doing the same thing. Among Parkers spirited remarks were tales of his wifes exciteful moments at Weber High basketball games. Jokingly he commented, No one really knows until now why I go up to act like I was controlling crowds during basketball games. My wife would seemingly become so excited about the events taking place before her, that I found myself shoved off the bench onto the floor several times. Parker also told of his wifes opinions of basketball referees, his red jacket which on several occasions got him mistook as a Special Events Center security person at the state games and retold tales from the players and coaches. Cheerleaders Recognized Weber High cheerleaders seemed to be just as much a part of the program as anything else, at least by the way they were treated at the banquet, one would think so. Conolly and his assistants at one point in the program, took time to pin special corsages on the-- seven girls attended 1 and theifI advisor, Lynette Atkinson. There were even enough left over that the Tallymen rwhO'i! werent forgotten. Ms. Atkinson called her spirited group, a unique bunch. The seven girls include Tammy Critchlow, Tini Sarlow, LeAnn Moyes, Jolen Clifton, Annette Green, Shirley Greaves and Jolynn Parker. ' Seniors Singled Out Lynn Muirbrook, present president of the Weber High Boosters Club, spoke next and paid fine compliments to each of the seniors on the Warrior basketball team. They were presented plaques by the Booster Club from each of their fathers. The seven seniors include Ralph Anderson, Van Fuller, Keven Jensen, Kory Kennington, Neil Miller, Steve Shaw and Drew Skeen who missed the banquet because of an invitation, to play in a high school basketball lettermen at the 1979-8Weber basketball squad were these seven Wwarriors.

Particularly, I would like to thank those who made it possible for us to win games, in a time when they are the hardest to win, said Conolly. Sophomore Award Sophomore coach, Hal Lewis, who also directs the varsity football team, next presented the Most Improved Sophomore award to Nate Olsen. Lewis called him one of the teams most consistent performers. Olsen, despite going through an operation to remove bone chips during the season, Came back to stablize his team.?" Junior Varsity Awards Brian Gladwell followed with the of the MVP Junior presentation Varsity Player award (Brian Coleman) and the Most Improved award, (Kurt Larsen). Gladwell, in his first full year at Weber High as a coach, had a break occur in his voice and a tear or two appear in relating his gratefulness for Coach Conolly. You probably would never have known that he, (Coach Conolly), went to his own expense to buy these plaques for his players. You probably dont know that he took out of his own pocket, enough money to buy a dozen pair of socks for his players. He respects the kids who play for him and they respect him. Being associated with him, has been a growing experience for me, one Ill never forget, said Gladwell.
