commitment carries over into our athletic programs as well. We take a great
deal of pride in the fact that our forensics, music, nursing and business
programs are recognized nationally.
Our Thunderbirds are also recognized
nationally. In men’s basketball and rodeo, few colleges have made a bigger
mark. And last year, our Lady T-Blrd basketball team made the first of many
appearances In the national tournament.
While there has been negative publicity surrounding college athletics, there
are still many bright' spots.
Athletics can serve as a rallying point for
students, faculty, and the community.
We all enjoy watching these young
student/athletes mature and improve, and learn the lessons of life. We pride
ourselves In that they are better off for having been here.
This will be my final season as the "official" number one fan.
I hope you

�The Athletic Staff
Swede Erickson
NJCAA President
Athletic Director
Few in the national basketball circles have not heard of Swede Erickson. Whether
it be as a coach, a friend, or through the United States Olympic Committee, most have
worked with Oscar Erickson. He is a devoted student of the game, and two years ago
finished his outstanding 29-year junior college coaching career with a record of 638
wins and 234 losses (a .730 winning percentage). He is the third winningest coach
in NJCAA history. It seemed only fitting, then, that after his coaching career, he would
become President of the NJCAA.
Swede is now the Director of the Casper College Foundation, and also serves as
athletic director at CC. During the past two years, he was instrumental in the building
of a new 4,000-square foot Fitness-Wellness Center at CC. He also watched the Lady
T-Birds take their first trip to the national basketball tournament. Ask him his goal,
and it remains the same as it was in 1958: he wants Casper College to wear a national
championship ring.
Erickson’s term as president of the NJCAA lasts another year. He says his goals
include a careful review of eligibility rules, and the establishment of a juco letter of
intent. Currently, athletes are not required to sign a binding letter. Erickson says the
NJCAA is also working on stablizing starting dates, numbers of games and scholarships
for every sport. “We hope to get back to term eligibility, and continue a long-range
planning strategy effort,’’ he adds.
Erickson is an avid outdoorsman. He has a wife, Artie, and two sons Kent and Brent.
Jean Wheatley
Associate Athletic Director
Jean Wheatley has helped to build one of the finest physical education departments
in the region during her 20 years at Casper College. She is also primarily responsible
for instigating women’s athletics among junior colleges in Wyoming.
Jean’s teams first began competition in 1972. The CC tennis coach from 1977-1984,
her teams won four Region IX championships. Under her guidance as Associate Athletic
Director, the CC women’s teams have won three conference championships in the last
six years.
Last year, Jean became director of the Fitness/Wellness Center on campus. She
is dedicated to teaching good health and physical fitness to her students. Besides
being an outstanding teacher, Jean Is an outstanding tennis player, as the many state
championship trophies on her mantle will attest. She has a husband, Stan, two
daughters, Georgia and Jennifer and a son, Greg.

�Pat Rafferty
Men’s Basketbail Coach
It didn’t take long for Pat Rafferty to establish himself in Region IX. During his first season
as a head coach, Pat's Thunderbirds went 17-15, captured a share of the Wyoming Conference
crown, and finished among the top five defenses in the nation. Few had given his team a chance
at .500, particularly when the record stood 3-8 in December. There were victories over Laramie
County, Northwest Wyoming (on the road) and Northeastern along the way. The foundation
and the philosophy were etched. He is ready for step number two, which is a return to
Hutchinson, Kansas and the national tournament. Before arriving at Casper, Pat was an
assistant coach at Eastern Montana, Northern Arizona, and the University of Idaho. A native
of Buffalo, Pat played at Northwest CC, and later at Eastern Montana.
Abe Steward
Women’s Basketball Coach
Abe Steward had a goal two years ago: to elevate Lady T-Bird basketball to the national
spotlight. It didn’t take long. In 1987, Steward and his ladies visited Senatobia, Mississippi
and the national tournament, after posting a 27-5 record, and winning the Region IX
championship by a whopping 30 points. In two seasons, Steward’s teams have won 52 and
lost just 12. Steward came to Casper College in 1970, and went on to become an All-America
player under Swede Erickson. He played at Jacksonville, and later with the Carolina Cougars
of the ABA. After his stint there, he played and coached in Brazil, before Swede lured him
“home” as his assistant. Abe has a wife, Arlene, and a son Trei.
Mary Schrad
Volleyball Coach
In two seasons at Casper College, Coach Mary Schrad has made her mark on Region IX.
Her teams have challenged for conference and regional honors while posting a fourth place
finish at Region IX in '85 and a second place finish in sub-region in ’86.
A successful volleyball and basketball coach at Lyman High School, Mary's volleyball teams
went 52-13, including two regional championships and a consolation winner at the state
tournament. In basketball, Mary’s teams posted a 53-12 record including two regional
championships and a state championship. Mary also earned Coach-of-the-Year and was named
the Shrine South All-Star Basketball Coach in 1985.
Mary is a graduate of Briar Cliff College (Iowa) where she was a standout in both volleyball
and basketball. She played professional basketball after college for the Iowa Cornets of the
now defunct Women’s Basketball League and spent three years playing basketball In the
European Women’s Professional League in Austria and Germany.
W. J. Wragge
Men’s Assistant Coach
A devoted pupil, W.J. has spent the past two seasons assisting the men's basketball
program—under Swede Erickson and now under Pat Rafferty. His dedication to Casper College
and to the T-Birds is unmatched. He studies the game, and gives generously of his time to
assure success for the red and white. His goal is to become a college coach. A native of
Sheridan, W.J. is a CC alum, and earned his degree from the University of Wyoming. He has
a wife, Janet (also a CC alum).

�CC unveils state-of-art Fitness Center
It is the latest approach to “total fitness.”
And Casper College unveiled it to the
public a year ago. The former agriculture
building-automotive shop has become a
4,600 square foot Fitness-Wellness Center,
featuring a Universal Aerobic Super Circuit
exercise system.
The concept of the system is simple,
according to the center’s director, Jean
Wheatley. Wheatley, who has taught physical
education at the college for the past 20 years,
said the super circuit does more than provide
stronger muscles.
“We’re not talking just strength and power,”
she said. “Participants alternate between
weight equipment and aerobic equipment for
a complete cardio vascular workout. That’s
why it is considered a total fitness program.”
The renovation of the building and the
purchase of equipment was made possible
through funds donated by the Casper College
Foundation. Swede Erickson, the Director of
the Foundation, said the facility has been
needed for a long time.
“It’s a need for the students,” he said. “It
is also a place where people can develop
good cardio-vascular health. This will help
our physical education cirriculum, what with
the emphasis in our society on total health.”
He sees the Fitness-Wellness Center as a
step toward a student recreation facility on
campus.
Wheatley said the center is open to
students, faculty and the public. The only
requirement is enrollment in PE 201-Fitness
and Wellness. Before using the equipment,
Wheatley says she is requiring participants
to go through an orientation.
Wheatley says Casper College took a page
out of the book of an Illinois junior college.
Carl Sandberg College in Galesburg, Illinois
put a fitness center together using
Universal’s “super circuit” system, and it was
met with enthusiasm by students and the
public. Joliet Junior College did the same,
and physical education enrollment there
doubled. More students from outside the
physical education interests got involved,
Wheatley said.
Weight rooms have traditionally been dark
and uninviting, she added. One of the goals
of CC officials was to provide a comfortable
place for recreational workouts with a
pleasant atmosphere.
The system itself has machines designed
to test respiratory efficiency, strength,
endurance and flexibility. Participants warm
up first on “aerobicycles,” then move to the
first of many weight training stations to
perform repetitions for 30 seconds. A
recorded voice instructs the participant to
move on to the next station, which is another
exercise bike. The entire workout, then,
alternates between lifting and aerobic
exercise. Computers register heart rate, body
Students, faculty and the public receive a complete cardio-vascular workout at Casper
College’s state-of-the-art Fitness Center.

fat and respiration.
Wheatley says one of the benefits of the
system is that it appeals to all age groups.
The weight stations, for instance, focus on
each part of the body. One is designed
specifically for the lower back.
Ron Wicks, the assistant director of the
facility, says adults can take the course as
many times as they wish. Students can earn
up to four credits In Fitness and Wellness 1
through 4. “We're really encouraging students
to make this a part of their college
experience,” Wicks said.
The Fitness Center is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Monday through Friday; 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

�Begin Your Future at Casper College
Students enjoy friendly atmosphere, beautiful setting
For 43 years, Casper College has met the
community’s needs for higher education.
Today the tradition of academic excellence
continues.
Casper College is located in Casper,
Wyoming—the state’s largest city and the
hub of the state. Three major carriers serve
its international airport. On the south side of
the city is Casper Mountain, which offers
recreational activities like skiing and hiking.
On the north side is the new Casper Events
Center, which hosts concerts, ballet and
sporting events of all kinds.
“Any educational
institution must be
progressive if it is to
speak to students of
today and tomorrow.”
Any educational institution must be
progressive if it is to speak to students of
today and tomorrow. Casper College is that,
but administration, faculty and staff are
careful to balance new and progressive ideas
with solid and proven educational formulas.
The college recently entered into an
agreement with the University of Wyoming,
to offer four-year degree programs on
campus.
Since 1945, when 75 students enrolled, the
school has grown steadily. Now, 4,500
students from all over Wyoming and
surrounding states take advantage of
traditional and continuing education
programs.
One of the primary goals of the institution
is to provide programs parallel to the first two
years of those offered by baccalaureate
degree-granting institutions. But another is
to provide complete vocational and semiprofessional programs. Success in striking
Business classes are held at the modern Harry T. Thorson Institute of Business
that balance has placed Casper College
among the best community colleges in the
country.
The Casper College business department
is recognized as one of the finest. The school
is also known for its agriculture, music and
fine arts, nursing and physical sciences.
The campus, which overlooks the city from
the south, is distinctive with its beautiful
terrace landscapes and fine architecture.
Now 26 buildings dot the 175-acre campus.
The latest addition to the physical plant is
the Gertrude Krampert Theatre. This year, the
theatre and music departments will play to
capacity audiences.
While the basketball team has earned
national acclaim, Casper College is also
known for its varsity rodeo program, which
has won four national championships. It’s
debate and livestock Judging teams are
among the best in the region. The school’s
newspaper has won regional awards.
Campus activities range from outdoor
expeditions and dances to intramural sports
and student government.
For the student, Casper College offers a
wide variety of career options. But it’s also
a place to make lasting friends on the way
to tomorrow.
Casper College exists to meet the needs
of future leaders. The institution proudly
holds its tradition aloft, and looks forward to
the 1990s.

�RISING STARS
Rafferty’s second goal: trip to Nationals
Coach Pat Rafferty says he will look back
on the 1986-87 season with a lot of fond
memories.
For one thing, it was his first year as a head
coach. For another, his Casper College
basketball team accomplished far more than
anyone thought it could, winning 17 ball
games, capturing a share of the Wyoming
Community College Conference crown, and
finishing among the top five in the nation in
scoring defense.
Not bad. But for Rafferty, it was merely a
fondation; a learning experience. He’s
anxious to put that experience to work.
"Last year was a learning experience,”
Rafferty said. "I learned a lot about Region
IX, and about this program, and I think I have
a better understanding of what it takes.
"I hope we established an identity and a
philosophy. There were really a number of
things that allowed us to improve in February
and March. One was finding the right
combination. Another was that our kids
learned how to play hard for extended periods
of time. Losing a few kids (at Christmas) may
have been a blessing.”
Last year's team, 17-15 following
postseason play, was just 3-8 at Christmas
break. But the late-season streak was
credited to defense, which gave up just 63.7
points per game. Opponents’ field goal
shooting percentage was 43.1 percent.
Rafferty thinks this year’s team can be better
because he has better athletes.
The squad is led by sophomore Emanuel
Cross, a preseason All-American candidate
from Chicago. Cross was the fifth-leading
scorer in the region last year (18.9 per game),
and is already among CC’s all-time leaders
in that category. Add to that five rebounds per
game, 75 percent free throw shooting, and his
ball handling ability, and Rafferty says Cross
has the potential to be one of the best guards
in the country.
Rafferty also welcomes back Todd Betton
(6-5, Compton. California) and Sterling
Schroefel (6-0, Casper). Betton scored 10.5
points per game and led last year's team with
7.7 rebounds per contest. Schroefel split time
with Tyrone Taylor at the point guard slot, and
played in all 32 games.
“Those three should help the new kids
learn,” Rafferty said. “They know what to
expect. Also, they compliment each other;
Sterling with his effort and energy, and Todd
should help the front line. 'E' will lead just
by example.”
Rafferty has a talented group of
newcomers, as evidenced by an outstanding
preseason. Each one has demonstrated an
ability which can help carry this Thunderbird
team down the stretch.
Speaking of stretch, Shawn “Stretch”
Jamison (6-7, Los Angeles) is leading the
team in rebounding with 6.6 per game. He is
also the team’s second-leading scorer with
11 per outing. Another outstanding prospect
is Archie Tolliver, a 6-6 “Train” from Chicago.
Tolliver had 21 points and 12 rebounds at
Powell in December.
Other freshmen include Michael Hudson
(6-5, Los Angeles), Joel “J.T.” Thomas (5-9,
Chicago) and Melvin Nunn (6-3, Chicago).
Those three all played quality minutes during
the preseason. Robbie Jackson, the 6-0 guard
from Casper, had 18 points and 10 rebounds
in one outing. Another newcomer who spent
time in the starting lineup is Kendall Schmidt
(6-4, Englewood, CO).
Doug Lane (6-5, Powell), Shon Schroefel
(5-11 Sophomore), Roger Werin (Sweden) and
David DuBay (Rochester, MN) add quality
depth to the team.
Rafferty said he recruited these
newcomers with some priorities in mind. “As
you look at last year, we needed to be a better
shooting team (for the year, CC was 45.2
percent from the field and 62.8 percent on
free throws). Also, we needed better athletes
on the front line.
“We were not a great zone team last year,
and I hope to have that flexibility this year.
Potentially, we could be better than last year
defensively because we have better size and
quickness. Because we are a better shooting
team, that should make people play us more
honestly.”
In looking back at November and
December, the above has been the case.
Casper is second in Region IX in defense
(allowing just 42 percent shooting to the
opponent). Also, the T-Birds are shooting 49
percent from the floor.
While the 10-2 start is the best since the
Tony Martin-Eric Davis team of 1980-81, the
T-Birds could easily have been unscathed
going into the holidays. In the losses to
Eastern Utah and Ricks, Casper had leads of
double digits against both, before losing in
the closing moments.
Rafferty admits that he is proud of the
start, but emphasizes how far this team has
to go. “I'm not satisfied offensively, and I
think we can get better defensively,” he said.
If this club can find "chemistry” and
maturity by February, there is a good chance
it will contend for the Region IX
championship. Local fans would like that,
since regionals are right here in their own
back yard.

��COVER STORY
A season to remember: Ladies win it all
It was the kind of season Lady T-Bird fans
will talk about for a long time.
It exceeded everyone’s expectations but
Abe Steward’s. Coach Abe knew all along that
his 1986-87 basketball team would win the
region. He knew they would go to Nationals.
They not only did both, but they
established some wonderful milestones
along the way ... like 27 wins, most in the
school’s history, and a first-ever Region IX
championship. Sophomore guard Serbrina
Andrews was named All-America, the only
Lady T-Bird ever to enjoy that honor. And three
players, Andrews, Krisser Kiever and Sheryl
Schroefel, made the all-tournament squad.
(Despite Casper's dominance of the region,
only Andrews made the all-region team.)
Steward took the incredible ride in stride.
Perhaps it was the determination from the
year before. His sophomores had suffered a
disastrous one-point loss to Central
Wyoming College the year before in the
championship game. That made coach and
players all the more set on a trip to
Mississippi.
The season itself started innocently
enough. After five games, CC had hardly
proven a thing; the record said 3-2, with
losses to Utah Tech and Sheridan College.
Later, a loss at Miles City made the record 5-3.
But after that, the Lady T-Birds took flight.
They would lose just one more game in the
next 22 outings. There was a 53-51 setback
at Nebraska Western, but the next loss would
not come until the second game of the
national tournament.
If there were any doubts at the Region IX
tournament who the top team was, the Lady
T-Birds erased them. They absolutely
decimated opponents. They beat Mid-Plains
73-50, Miles City 64-40, and Western Wyoming
in the championship 76-28. The average
victory margin: 33 points.
They had earned their trip to Senatobia,
Miss. That was more than enough for their
fans, but this team took one more step. In
their opener, the Lady T-Birds ousted Cowley
County, Kan. 72-60 before bowing out to the
eventual national champion. Northeast
Mississippi, 88-57. In the women’s
tournament, there is no third game for a
second-round loser.
“I knew that team would win the region,”
Steward reflects. “Sheryl, Serbrina and
Krisser were my first recruits. We thought we
could get there the first year, but we were a
bit outmanned. I knew they had time to
develop.”
There were, of course, some other
important contributors. Shelley Anderson, a
6-3 center who sat out the previous season
to earn a starting spot, and Karen Brinton
were the sophomores. Brinton battled knee
problems all season, but was considered the
quiet hero by Steward.
Suzette Haller, Kim Near, Kelly Galloway,
Jeanette Scheitel and Laura Eisenbraun were
the freshmen who benefitted from their
teammate’s large leads. Eisenbraun had 8
points in the championship game, and Haller
had 6.
Three players off that team are playing
elsewhere this year. Andrews and Schroefel,
who combined for more than 30 points and
10 assists per game, became a package deal
for College of the Ozarks in Missouri. Kiever
will play at Eastern New Mexico.
Steward says he has seen enough to know
that Casper can compete on a national level.
He won a game at nationals with a roster that
had only two out-of-state players, something
he points to proudly. He credits Wyoming’s
high school girls’ athletic programs forthat.
“My goal is to take this program as far as
it will go, to become a national contender,”
he says. “That was the same goal I had as
a player here, to get to nationals, and then
to have the chance to win it.”
Newcomers Vicki Williams and Julie Gustafson have big shoes to fill.

�CC Spikers reach new heights at 33-9
T-Birds finish 2nd in
Region IX tourney
Coach Mary Schrad says she won’t get over
it for a long time.
To come so far and to lose by so little
always hurts. But Schrad and her Lady T-Bird
volleyball players can take some consolation.
After all, they did finish second in the
regional tournament—the best finish ever for
Casper College—and they did lose to a team
that ultimately finished fourth In the nation.
And they won more matches than any other
Lady T-Bird team had.
The Lady T-Birds finished the 1987 season
at 33-9-1. Their final loss came to Northwest
CC in the championship match of the Region
IX tournament. That, after the red and white
had battled through the losers' bracket with
four straight wins to make the finals.
"I haven't gotten over it,” Schrad admits.
“But I feel better realizing what (NWCC) did
at Nationals. We played great In the
tournament. We rose to all occasions, and we
did it the hard way. Losing to a team that
finished fourth in the nation eases the pain
a little.”
It was indeed an outstanding season for
Casper College. With only five losses during
the regular season, CC defeated every team
on its schedule. One of those victories came
over NWCC in front of an enthusiastic home
crowd.
Schrad said most of the credit goes to her
sophomores: Jodi Leithead of Ten Sleep;
Jeanette Schietel, Pine Bluffs; Wendy
Fischer, Casper; and Kelly Galloway,
Durango, Colorado.
“All four of those girls will be hard to
replace," Schrad said. "They did the things
I asked, but they did a lot of little things, too.
I attribute how they refined their skills to an
eagerness to learn and excel.”

were the outside-inside threats for CC
trophy cases. And Galloway, an engineering
major, will be named to the Academic All
America team in January. Schrad, though,
points to Leithead for “co-MVP” honors on
the team. The 5-6 standout solidified the
setter position during mid-season.
All four sophomores dominated Region IX
statistics. Scheltel finished the season with
228 blocks, best in the region. She was also
fifth in kills with 3.8 per game. Galloway had
the top attack efficience in Region IX (51
percent), and Fischer was fifth in efficiency
and sixth in kills (2.8 per game). Leithead was
second in assists with 8.1 per game.
There were, of course, some bright new
spots on the team. Julie Gustafson, Casper;
Janet Buckner, Lyman; VaLynne Asay,
Bluffdale, Utah; Deena Baca, Tularosa, N.M.;
Dawn Johnson, Green River; and Monica
Fabian, Green River all played significant
roles during the season. Gustafson was a

latecomer to the team, and became one of
the bright spots during tournament.
One of Schrad's goals when she arrived
was to “establish” the CC volleyball program.
With more than 60 victories in three seasons,
she has done that. She did it, in part, by
introducing a comprehensive spring program
for her athletes. She spent a great deal of
individual time with her sophomores last
spring, and it paid off in victories during the
fall.
Now, the goal is to take one more step. To
Nationals. What will it take?
“I am looking for some big girls,” Schrad
said. “We need a middle hitter, a big setter
and a backcourt specialist."
That is a tall order. But Schrad said she has
received “three times the inquiries" this year
over last from prospective athletes.
The foundation is laid. All that is needed
Is a few building blocks ...

OF VICTORY
DENNIS ROBERSON
1987-88 Heyoka
Heyoka
over
The original intent of the “Heyoka” mascot
was to boost school pride. Back in 1958,
physical science instructor Norm Weis agreed
to construct a costume which was appropriate
for the Casper College Thunderbirds.
He chose an early form of the current
Heyoka, taken from the Indian medicine man,
who danced and chanted to make the spirits
right for his tribe. The Heyoka mascot does
that for his T-Birds before each game. The
traditional dance is designed to “get the spirits
right” for a Casper College victory. Of course,
he also helps get the crowd involved.
Mr. Weis twice has given Heyoka a facelift,
once in 1965 and then in 1986. The current
costume consists of genuine mink skin, Indian
bead work and leather moccasins. The head
is constructed around a football helmet; the
beak is made of fiberglass material and the
epoxy eyes were hand made by Weis.
This year's Heyoka is Dennis Roberson, a
sophomore engineering student from
Sheridan. Roberson, besides performing at the
games, is scheduled to make appearances to
local gradeschools in the area to model the
mascot.
Heyoka has become somewhat of a fixture
at the national tournament, just as the T-Birds
have. Fans in Hutchinson, Kansas look forward
to seeing the T-Bird mascot, which they say is
the best at the tournament.

to our campus. As you
may know, we are usher
ing in a new era in
Thunderbird basketball
this year, and we at
Casper College share
your excitement.
We are committed to
excellence in this area,
just as we are committed
to
excellence
in
academics. I believe ac
tivities and academics
can go hand-in-hand.
More important, athletics
can serve as a rallying
point for students, faculty
and the community.
athletics—much of it in
the negative vein—there
are still many bright
spots. It’s always a
pleasure to watch these
young players mature and
learn how to win on the
court and in life.
I hope you will join me
in making this a suc
cessful year, both for the
Thunderbirds and for the
fans. Let’s practice good
sportsmanship along the
way!

�COVER STORY
Buffalo native takes over T-Bird reins
It surprised very few that Pat Rafferty
would choose to be a basketball coach.
After all, the great American indoor sport
has been an integral part of his life. Growing
up in Sunrise and Buffalo, he used to spend
hours watching his father. Jack, running his
teams through drills.
Jack is now a member of the Wyoming
Coaches Hall of Fame, and a respected sage
of courtside manner. Pat played for his father,
and was an all-stater for the Bison, before
leading the first Wyoming All-Star contingent
against Montana. He went on to play a year
at Northwest Community College in Powell,
and two years at Eastern Montana College
in Billings.
It was very shortly after his playing days
that Rafferty was thrust into the coaching
ranks. He became a graduate assistant for
Dick Edwards at the beginning of the 1960-81
season. In January, Edwards died of a heart
attack. Rafferty coached the rest of the year.
EMC finished 21-9, made the playoffs for the
first time in the school’s history, and wound
up 17th in the country.
In 1981-82, Rafferty assisted Pat Douglas
at EMC, before taking assistant jobs at
Northern Arizona and later at the University
of Idaho. That Division I recruiting experience
is something he brings to his next job
coaching the Casper College Thunderbirds.
Rafferty knows the challenge ahead. All he
has to do is coach one of the top 10 junior
college programs in the country, fill the shoes
of a Hall of Fame Coach—Swede Erickson,
and maintain a winning tradition. But then,
he wouldn’t be here if the challenge weren't
great.
“There were only a handful of juco head
jobs in the country that I would have
considered,” he says. “As far as the
community and resources are concerned,
and as far as the tradition, this was one of
them."
And so, just a couple hours down the road
from where he played his high school ball,
he has his chance to be a head coach. “I’ve
been waiting for an opportunity like this," he
told a press conference the day he was
introduced. “I don’t have all the answers, but
I think I have a sound philosophy and belief
about how the game is to be played."
Rafferty says his initial goal is to instill an
identity and a philosophy that will “set the
tone for the future." His longterm goal, he
adds, is to have a chance to play for the
national title.
"I hope when others mention my teams,
they will say that we play hard, that we play
good defense, and that we can adjust to
various tempos offensively. We’ll take good
shots and we’ll play hard."
Fans got a preseason look at this year’s
Thunderbird edition against the alumni
squad. While the T-Birds fell 79-76, it was a
team that showed discipline and took good
shots. It was also a team that showed signs
of an outstanding running game.
It will not be an easy road for the first-year
coach. This is probably the toughest T-Bird
schedule in memory. The first eight games
are in tournaments, against quality
opponents. The only two other games before
Christmas are against preseason Region IX
favorites Sheridan and Trididad State. "We
could be .500 by Christmas time, and still be
a good team,” Rafferty points out. “This
schedule will test our water.”
The one ace in the hole for these T-Birds
might be depth. Rafferty appears to be 10 or
12 players deep. There are no superstars. But
they have potential.
"The biggest thing we have to overcome is
the transition to a new system," Rafferty says.
“Most coaches have at least a few players
who have been in the program. The newness
of the program will be an adjustment for
everyone.”
The area Rafferty says needs improvement
is rebounding. If his frontline players can
improve and go to the glass, these T-Birds
might be in the running come March.

BACKING COACH RAFFERTY

266’1500
WESTERN DISTRIBUTING
CASPER, WYOMING
�Erickson directs CC athietics, NJCAA
it was a year to remember at Casper
College. It was the finale for one of the best
ever in the junior college ranks. And Swede
Erickson went out with style.
Following a year of memorable standing
ovations in places like Miles City and Twin
Falls, Erickson nearly snuck upon his peers
yet another time—just for old time’s sake. His
Thunderbirds earned a berth in the Region IX
Final Four, only to lose to eventual champion
Trinidad in the semi-finals. The odds finally
caught up, according to Erickson. (After all,
Jim Toupal had never beaten him in
tournament play.)
He finished his career at 638 wins and 234
losses (.730 winning percentage), and among
the three winningest coaches in National
Junior College Athletic Association history.
It seemed only fitting, then, that Erickson
take over as president of the organization. He
did that last summer, and will serve a twoyear term with the NJCAA.
En route to those lofty figures, Erickson
coached six All-Americans, including Flynn
Robinson, Bob Lackey and Gerald Mattinson.
His teams won 10 Region IX championships.
He has that many Coach of the Year plaques
in his collection, too.
Erickson, who has a gymnasium on
campus named in his honor, will also serve
as athletic director at Casper College, and he
has made a pledge to be one of the biggest
supporters of T-Bird basketball.
Erickson is still in the process of moving
his memorabilia into a special display case
at Erickson Thunderbird Gym. Fans and
friends will be able to view the 10 national
trophies, the numerous Coach of the Year
plaques (including National Coach of the
Year in 1971), and his awards from the
National Olympic Committee. Erickson will
continue to serve with the USOC in the
selection of amateur basketball squads for
international competition.
Besides all his other duties, Erickson's new
position with Casper College is that of
Director of the Foundation, the fund-raising
arm of the institution.
Erickson is an avid outdoorsman, and
spends his leisure time on the banks of the
Platte River, searching for that record Brown
trout.

�CC women’s coach faces tough encore
So what do you do for an encore?
That’s the question that must have crossed
Abe Steward’s mind several times during the
past few months. The Casper College
women’s coach had a rookie season that
most coaches only dream about—22-5 and
a runner-up finish in the Region IX
tournament. Make that an overtime, closebut-no-cigar loss to Central Wyoming College
in the championship game.
You can't come any closer than Steward’s
first Lady T-Bird contingent did to a national
tournament. But ask the likeable head coach
about the pressure of bettering last year’s
finish, and he’ll smile. He has every intention
of doing just that.
Steward became the CC women’s coach
after spending seven seasons as Swede
Erickson’s assistant coach. Before joining
Erickson at Casper College, Steward coached
and played basketball in the Brazilian Pro
League. That followed a professional
basketball career with the Carolina Cougars
of the American Basketball Association.
Originally from Ohio, he was an All-American
under Erickson in 1970-71, and helped the TBirds to a fifth-place finish in the national
tournament that year.
Many consider Steward to be the finest allaround player ever at Casper College. He
quickly showed that he is capable of passing
RED
along his knowledge of the game to those
who play for him.
Steward says his goal is to elevate the
Casper College women’s basketball program
to the same national prominence as the
men's. That is certainly a tall order. After all,
Casper College is among the 10 winningest
programs in the country in men’s basketball.
While Steward lost his front line—which
included 6-5 Sheila Hughes and 5-10 Connie
Stoner—be is blessed with the return of a
backcourt many consider to be the best in
Region IX. Sophomores Sheryl Schroefel and
Krisser Kiever of Natrona and Serbrina
Andrews of Milwaukee promise to make Lady
T-Bird basketball exciting again.
Steward also welcomes back Shelley
Anderson, a 6-3 postman who played two
seasons ago. And Debborah Sparks, a
transfer, should solidify the power forward
spot.
“We have several girls who can shoot the
ball,’’ Steward says. “The fans might see us
shoot some 25 footers this season. And I
expect Sparks to be all-region IX before the
season is over.”
Sparks will be unable to play the first
semester because of the NJCAA transfer
rule. But her rebounding and shooting ability
underneath might make the difference.
“I have 11 Wyoming girls on this team, and
I feel better about them than I did with last
year’s. I think we can be in the hunt-”
All in all, it shoulo be a promising
sophomore year for Steward. And a promising
season for the Lady T-Birds.

the first time CC had compiled a 20-win season. This year, the T-Birds reversed their fortunes
in sub-region (flip-flopping a 2-6 mark to 6-2), and entered Region IX tournament with high
hopes. Schrad is a former professional player. She played for the Iowa Cornets of the now
defunct Women’s Professional Basketball Association, after starring at Briar Cliff College
in Iowa. After college, she toured and played in Europe.
David Allen

Mike Berres: Sports Writer.
"1 think new coach Pat Rafferty has some good ideas and will bring an exciting and
successful brand of basketball to Erickson Gym.”
Westmore ("Bill") Willcox: Photographer.
"During a recent T-Bird practice, Coach Pat Rafferty was intense, involved and
insistent that his players maintain a high level of intensity during the drills. They
should be fun to watch during the upcoming season.”
Bill Plunkett: Sports Editor.
"Everything Pat Rafferty does with this team will be a first, except success, that
has been a constant and a tradition with the T-Birds.”
Rick Sorenson: Chief Photographer.
"Having covered most of the T-Bird home games for the last four seasons, it will
be a real shock to look over at the bench and not see a scowling Swede Erickson.
Watching so many T-Birds games through a camera lens left me with some lasting
impressions. I am sure that winning tradition will continue.”
Dennis Durband: Sports Writer.
"Most programs backslide during a coaching transition. I don't see the T-Birds
missing a beat this year.”

�CC unveils state-of-art Fitness Center
It is the latest approach to ‘‘total
fitness."
And Casper College unveiled it to
the public in September. The former
agriculture building automotive
shop has become a 4,600 square
foot fitness-wellness center,
featuring a Universal Aerobic Super
Circuit exercise system.
The concept of the system is
simple, according to the center’s
director, Jean Wheatley. Wheatley,
who has taught physical education
at the college for the past 20 years,
said the super circuit does more
than provide stronger muscles.
“We’re not talking just strength
and power," she said. “Participants
alternate between weight
equipment and aerobic equipment
for a complete cardio-vascular
workout. That’s why it is considered
a total fitness program.”
The renovation of the building
and the purchase of equipment was
made possible through funds
donated by the Casper College
Foundation. Swede Erickson, the
Director of the Foundation, said the
facility has been needed for a long
time.
“It’s a need for the students,” he
said. “It is also a place where people
can develop good cardio-vascular
health. This will help our physical
education cirriculum, what with the
emphasis In our society on total
health.”
He sees the Fitness-Wellness Cen
ter as a step toward a student
recreation facility on campus.

Wheatley said the center will be
open to students, faculty and the
public. The only requirement is
enrollment in PE 201 — Fitness and
Wellness. Before using the
equipment, Wheatley says she is
requiring participants to go through
an orientation.
Wheatley explained that Casper
College took a page out of the book
of an Illinois junior college. Carl
Sandberg College in Galesburg, III.
put a fitness center together using
Universal’s “super circuit” system,
and it was met with enthusiasm by
students and the public. Joliet
Junior College did the same, and
physical education enrollmentthere
doubled. More students from
outside the physical education
interests got involved, Wheatley
said.
Weight rooms have traditionally
been dark and uninviting, she
added. One of the goals of CC
officials was to provide a
comfortable place for recreational
workouts with a pleasant
atmosphere.
The system itself has machines
designed to test respiratory
efficiency, strength, endurance and
flexibility. Participants warm up first
on “aerobicycles,’’ then move to the
first of many weight training stations
to perform repetitions for 30
seconds. A recorded voice instructs
the participant to move on to the
next station, which is another
exercise bike. The entire workout,
then, alternates between lifting and

aerobic exercise. Computers
register heart rate, body fat and
respiration.
Wheatley said one of the benefits
of the system is that it appeals to all
age groups. The weight stations, for
instance, focus on each part of the
body. One is designed specifically
for the lower back.
Ron Wicks, the assistant director
of the facility, said adults can take
the course as many times as they
wish. Students can earn up to four
credits in Fitness and Wellness 1
through 4. “We’re really
encouragings to make this a part of
their college experience,” Wicks
said.
The fitness center is open 7 a.m. to
7 p.m. Monday through Friday: 12
p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. to
4 p.m. on Sundays.
�Begin Your Future at Casper College
Students enjoy friendly atmosphere, beautiful setting
has placed Casper College among the best community
colleges in the country.
The Casper College business department is
recognized as one of the finest. The school is also
known for its agriculture, music and fine arts, nursing
and physical sciences.
The campus, which overlooks the city from the
south, is distinctive with its beautiful terrace landscapes
and fine architecture. Now 28 buildings dot the 220-acre
campus.
The latest addition to the physical plant is the
Gertrude Krampert Theatre. This year, the theatre and
music departments will play to capacity audiences.
While the basketball team has earned national
acclaim, Casper College is also known for its varsity
rodeo program, which has won four national
championships. It’s debate and livestock judging teams
are among the best in the region. The school's
newspaper has won regional awards.
Campus activities range from outdoor expeditions
and dances to intramural sports and student
government.
For the student, Casper College offers a wide
variety of career options. But it’s also a place to make
lasting friends on the way to tomorrow.
Casper College exists to meet the needs of future
leaders. The institution proudly holds its tradition aloft,
and looks forward to the 199O’s.
For 42 years, Casper College has met the
community’s needs for higher education. Today the
tradition of academic excellence continues.
Casper College is located in Casper, Wyoming —
the state’s largest city and the hub of the state. Three
major carriers serve its international airport. On the
south side of the city is Casper Mountain, which offers
recreational activities like skiing and hiking. On the
north side is the new Casper Events Center, which hosts
concerts, ballet and sporting events of all kinds.
Any educational institution must be progressive if it
is to speak to students of today and tomorrow. Casper
College is that, but administration, faculty and staff are
careful to balance new and progressive ideas with solid
and proven educational formulas.
The college recently entered into discussions with
the University of Wyoming, to explore the possibility of
offering four-year degree programs on campus.
Since 1945, when 75 students enrolled, the school
has grown steadily. Now, 4,500 students from all over
Wyoming and surrounding states take advantage of
traditional and continuing education programs.
One of the primary goals of the institution is to
provide programs parallel to the first two years of those
offered by baccalaureate degree-granting institutions.
But another is to provide complete vocational and semiprofessional programs. Success in striking that balance

�COVER STORY
Buffalo native takes over T-Bird reins
It surprised very few that Pat Rafferty
would choose to be a basketball coach.
After all, the great American indoor sport
has been an integral part of his life. Growing
up in Sunrise and Buffalo, he used to spend
hours watching his father. Jack, running his
teams through drills.
Jack is now a member of the Wyoming
Coaches Hall of Fame, and a respected sage
of courtside manner. Pat played for his father,
and was an all-stater for the Bison, before
leading the first Wyoming All-Star contingent
against Montana. He went on to play a year
at Northwest Community College in Powell,
and two years at Eastern Montana College
in Billings.
It was very shortly after his playing days
that Rafferty was thrust into the coaching
ranks. He became a graduate assistant for
Dick Edwards at the beginning of the 1980-81
season. In January, Edwards died of a heart
attack. Rafferty coached the rest of the year.
EMC finished 21-9, made the playoffs for the
first time in the school's history, and wound
up 17th in the country.
In 1981-82, Rafferty assisted Pat Douglas
at EMC, before taking assistant jobs at
Northern Arizona and later at the University
Ipf Idaho. That Division I recruiting experience
ns something he brings to his next job
coaching the Casper College Thunderbirds.
Rafferty knows the challenge ahead. All he
has to do is coach one of the top 10 junior
college programs in the country, fill the shoes
of a Hall of Fame Coach—Swede Erickson,
and maintain a winning tradition. But then,
he wouldn’t be here If the challenge weren't
great.
“There were only a handful of juco head
jobs in the country that I would have
considered,” he says. “As far as the
community and resources are concerned,
and as far as the tradition, this was one of
them."
And so, just a couple hours down the road
from where he played his high school ball.
Fans got a preseason look at this year's
Thunderbird edition against the alumni
squad. While the T-Birds fell 79-76, it was a
team that showed discipline and took good
shots. It was also a team that showed signs
of an outstanding running game.
It will not be an easy road for the first-year
coach. This is probably the toughest T-Bird
schedule in memory. The first eight games
are in tournaments, against quality
opponents. The only two other games before
Christmas are against preseason Region IX
favorites Sheridan and Trididad State. “We
could be .500 by Christmas time, and still be
a good team," Rafferty points out. “This
schedule will test our water.”
The one ace in the hole for these T-Birds
might be depth. Rafferty appears to be 10 or
12 players deep. There are no superstars. But
they have potential.
“The biggest thing we have to overcome is
the transition to a new system,” Rafferty says.
“Most coaches have at least a few players
who have been in the program. The newness
of the program will be an adjustment for
everyone.”
The area Rafferty says needs improvement
is rebounding. If his frontline players can
improve and go to the glass, these TBirds
might be in the running come March.
he has his chance to be a head coach. “I've
been waiting for an opportunity like this," he
told a press conference the day he was
introduced. “I don't have all the answers, but
I think I have a sound philosophy and belief
about how the game is to be played.”
Rafferty says his initial goal is to instill an
identity and a philosophy that will “set the
tone for the future.” His longterm goal, he
adds, is to have a chance to play for the
national title.
“I hope when others mention my teams,
they will say that we play hard, that we play
good defense, and that we can adjust to
various tempos offensively. We'll take good
shots and we'll play hard.”

WESTERN DISTRIBUTING
CASPER, WYOMING
�Erickson directs CC athietics, NJCAA
l It was a year to remember at Casper
ollege. It was the finale for one of the best
ever in the junior college ranks. And Swede
Erickson went out with style.
Following a year of memorable standing
ovations in places like Miles City and Twin
Falls, Erickson nearly snuck up on his peers
yet another time—just for old time’s sake. His
Thunderbirds earned a berth in the Region IX
Final Four, only to lose to eventual champion
Trinidad in the semi-finals. The odds finally
caught up, according to Erickson. (After all,
Jim Toupal had never beaten him in
tournament play.)
He finished his career at 638 wins and 234
losses (.730 winning percentage), and among
the three winningest coaches in National
Junior College Athletic Association history.
It seemed only fitting, then, that Erickson
take over as president of the organization. He
did that last summer, and will serve a twoyear term with the NJCAA.
B
En route to those lofty figures, Erickson
coached six All-Americans, Including Flynn
Robinson, Bob Lackey and Gerald Mattinson.
His teams won 10 Region IX championships.
He has that many Coach of the Year plaques
in his collection, too.
Erickson, who has a gymnasium on
campus named in his honor, will also serve
H athletic director at Casper College, and he
pis made a pledge to be one of the biggest
supporters of T-Bird basketball.
Erickson is still in the process of moving
his memorabilia Into a special display case
at Erickson Thunderbird Gym. Fans and
friends will be able to view the 10 national
trophies, the numerous Coach of the Year
plaques (including National Coach of the
Year in 1971), and his awards from the
National Olympic Committee. Erickson will
continue to serve with the USOC in the
selection of amateur basketball squads for
international competition.
Besides all his other duties, Erickson’s new
position with Casper College is that of
Director of the Foundation, the fund-raising
arm of the institution.
Erickson is an avid outdoorsman, and
spends his leisure time on the banks of the
Platte River, searching for that record Brown
trout.

�CC women’s coach faces tough encore
L So what do you do for an encore?
' That’s the question that must have crossed
Abe Steward's mind several times during the
past few months. The Casper College
women’s coach had a rookie season that
most coaches only dream about—22-5 and
a runner-up finish in the Region IX
tournament. Make that an overtime, closebut-no-cigar loss to Central Wyoming College
in the championship game.
You can’t come any closer than Steward’s
first Lady T-Bird contingent did to a national
tournament. But ask the likeable head coach
about the pressure of bettering last year’s
finish, and he’ll smile. He has every intention
of doing just that.
Steward became the CC women’s coach
after spending seven seasons as Swede
Erickson's assistant coach. Before joining
Erickson at Casper College, Steward coached
and played basketball in the Brazilian Pro
League. That followed a professional
basketball career with the Carolina Cougars
of the American Basketball Association.
Originally from Ohio, he was an All-American
under Erickson in 1970-71, and helped the TBirds to a fifth-place finish in the national
tournament that year.
Many consider Steward to be the finest allaround player ever at Casper College. He
quickly showed that he is capable of passing
along his knowledge of the game to those
who play for him.
Steward says his goal is to elevate the
Casper College women’s basketball program
to the same national prominence as the
men's. That is certainly a tall order. After all,
Casper College is among the 10 winningest
programs in the country in men’s basketball.
While Steward lost his front line—which
included 6-5 Sheila Hughes and 5-10 Connie
Stoner—he is blessed with the return of a
backcourt many consider to be the best in
Region IX. Sophomores Sheryl Schroefel and
Krisser Kiever of Natrona and Serbrina
Andrews of Milwaukee promise to make Lady
T-Bird basketball exciting again.
Steward also welcomes back Shelley
Anderson, a 6-3 postman who played two
seasons ago. And Debborah Sparks, a
transfer, should solidify the power forward
spot.
“We have several girls who can shoot the
ball," Steward says. "The fans might see us
shoot some 25 footers this season. And I
expect Sparks to be all-region IX before the
season is over.”
Sparks will be unable to play the first
semester because of the NJCAA transfer
rule. But her rebounding and shooting ability
underneath might make the difference.
“I have 11 Wyoming girls on this team, and
I feel better about them than I did with last
year’s. I think we can be in the hunt-’
All in all, it shoula be a promising
sophomore year for Steward. And a promising
season for the Lady T-Birds.

Mary Schrad came to Casper College from Lyman High School, where she coached for
three seasons. She directed the Eagles to state all three years, and to a state championship
in basketball. In Schrad’s first season at Casper College, the Lady T-Birds finished 20-16,
the first time CC had compiled a 20-win season. This year, the T-Birds reversed their fortunes
in sub-region (flip-flopping a 2-6 mark to 6-2), and entered Region IX tournament with high
hopes. Schrad is a former professional player. She played for the Iowa Cornets of the now
defunct Women’s Professional Basketball Association, after starring at Briar Cliff College
in Iowa. After college, she toured and played in Europe.
David Allen
Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach
David is in his first year as an assistant coach, following a noteworthy career at Casper

honors for NAU, including the prestigious Scholar Athlete of the Year (for all sports) following
his senior season. Last year, Allen played for the Wyoming Wildcatters of the Continental
Basketball Association. This year, he joins his former mentor at NAU (Coach Rafferty
recruited Allen), to help the new coach with the Thunderbirds.
W. J. Wragge

Our team, the sports writers and photographers of the Casper StarTribune will be with you all the way, T-Birds. Game after game they
will be there writing, taking pictures, putting together the best of all
possible stories, so that fans everywere can be kept up to date on
everybody's team, the Thunderbirds.
Mike Berres: Sports Writer.
"I think new coach Pat Rafferty has some good ideas and will bring an exciting and
successful brand of basketball to Erickson Gym."
Westmore ("Bill") Willcox: Photographer.
"During a recent T-Bird practice, Coach Pat Rafferty was intense, involved and
insistent that his players maintain a high level of intensity during the drills. They
should be fun to watch during the upcoming season."
Bill Plunkett: Sports Editor.
"Everything Pat Rafferty does with this team will be a first, except success, that
has been a constant and a tradition with the T-Birds."
Rick Sorenson: Chief Photographer.
"Having covered most of the T-Bird home games for the last four seasons, it will
be a real shock to look over at the bench and not see a scowling Swede Erickson.
Watching so many T-Birds games through a camera lens left me with some lasting
impressions. I am sure that winning tradition will continue."
Dennis Durband: Sports Writer.
"Most programs backslide during a coaching transition. I don't see the T-Birds
missing a beat this year."

welcomes teams
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome
back to Casper College all the tournament teams
and their fans. We are privileged to host the 1986
Region IX Tournament.
We as an institution are proud to be a member of
Region IX. and are especially honored to host this
exciting event. It is my feeling that Region IX is
consistently one of the tough regions in the country.
We hope that while you are here you will take time to
visit our campus. Casper College is celebrating Its
41st anniversary this year, and we are proud of the
faculty and staff, students, and physical facilities,
which have contributed to the tradition of
excellence.
Here’s wishing all the teams, including the
defending champion T-Birds, the very best of luck in
this year’s tournament. Please let us know how we
can make your stay more enjoyable.

A good rebounding team with

percent of their field goals...as
always, have played a tough
schedule...Jones Is an Academic
All-American candidate...T-Birds
have good tradition...defending
champs.
Not a lot of depth...Inconsistent all
year; only once have T-Birds won
more than two games in a
row...guard play has been a
problem.

Strengths:
One of best off-guards in Region IX
in Robert Johnson...a pure shooter
who likes the corner...addition of
Davis in January has given
Rustlers
better
strength
inside-Wynne is another player to
watch.,.Rustlers have beaten some
good teams this year, including
Casper and Nebraska Western.
Weaknesses:
Inconsistency...also, the lack of a
dominate inside man, although
Beck and Davis try to make up with
tenacity...no true point guard with
exit of Nelson at semester break.

NWC's Terry Yancey battles Casper's Sean Smith.
Sheridan’s Bruce Hoffman pleads his case.
By Bill Landen
Call it the “Year of the Trojan.’’
That's the consensus among the
Region IX coaches. Trinidad State, which
brings a sterling 28-1 record and a No. 6
ranking into this year’s event, rates as the
odds-on favorite to capture the first-place
trophy and a trip to Hutchinson, Kan. in
two weeks.
If Coach Jim Toupal’s team can pull it
off, it would mark the first time ever that
the Trojans have gone to Nationals. That's
hard to believe when one considers the
talent that has played for the southern
Colorado school (including Spencer
Haywood and Andre Nicholson). Trinidad
has
played
for the
Region
IX
championship only three times, and each
time Casper College sent the Trojans
home empty handed.
Toupal agrees that his team might be
one of the favorites, but he’s quick to point
toothers. Beginning with him, here's what
the coaches say about Region IX;
Jim Toupal, Trinidad
“It's wide opwn. Having to win four
games in a row, almost anyone can
emerge. With Swede (Erickson) playing in
his final one, you can't count him out at
home. Nebraska Western has good talent,
and I think Sheridan will be right there.’’
Bruce Hoffman, Sheridan
“I think it’s wide open. Trinidad has to
‘Year
of the
T rojan’
Swede Erickson, Casper
“I like Trinidad State and whoever
comes out of the north as the top seed.”
Dale Neal, York
“I haven't seen the teams out there, but
judging from the stats it looks like
Trinidad. From there it looks pretty
balanced. I don’t know if we have the
physical teams (in the east) to match up.”
John Jourgenson, McCook
Coaches favor
Trinidad State
be the favorite, then after that, seven or
eight could win this thing. Whichever
team is right for four nights has a chance.”
John Morrison, Dawson
“Trinidad State. The early season
favorite was Nebraska Western, but they
haven't been playing as well. I don’t know
much about the east, but whoever’s
playing well has a chance.”
Bin Graefe, Central Wyoming
“I would have to clearly say Trinidad, but
conversely, there are about eight teams
(that could win). I'm not discounting York,
because I think they’ve got a good team.
It'll be the most wide open I’ve seen in the
past four years.”
9
“Trinidad and Nebraska Western, but
there’s eight or 10 others who could win it.”
There are a lot of theories why most
Region IX teams have ridden the roller
coaster in 1985-86, but the most prevalent
has to do with front-line players. It is a year
of fine guards and average big people.
Several teams have shown ability to beat
almost anyone on a given night—
Sheridan, Northwest, Casper, Laramie
County—but each has also stumbled
against teams it shouldn’t have. The lack
of a dominating inside player might be the
reason.
While tradition rides with Nebraska
Western, Sheridan or Casper (particularly
with the T-Birds playing at home for the
first time in eight years), teams like York,
Southeast, Northwest, Dawson and
Central Wyoming should also draw close
scrutiny to the more-than-casual
tournament observer.

Strengths:
Weaknesses:
One of surprise teams in Region IX
this year..good defensive team
which likes halfcourt pressure
game...Shippy
adds
great
dimension from guard spot, and
Wilson a fine shooter...Sues will
run when given chance.
Not a lot of depth and loss of
Mandel Gregory has hurt inside
game...no true center...Wilson must
score for Sues’ offense to go.
Players to Watch:
Shippy, Wilson, Evans.

Played in last year’s championship
opposite Casper...lost only one
starter off that team (Joe
Hamilton)...good Inside, outside
team...solid point guard in Kelly,
and region’s top rebounder in
Wilkerson.
Eagles have been up and down,
mostly because of early injuries
. - . must shoot well and run to be
effective . . . defense has broken
down at times.

Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Wood is one of the quality
forwards
in
the
tournament...Muma and Palomo
are a decent guard tandem...like to
press and run, and shooting can
burn somebody...record deceptive;
lost 10 4-point games.
Again, lack of size hurts...must
shoot very well to have a chance.
Players to Watch:
Wood, Muma, Palomo.

PLAYER, SCHOOL
Strengths:
Solid rebounding club with
Sanders and Walker lnslde...this
team likes to push it up, and scores
more than 85 points per
game...good motion game, and
Cougars take good shots...Yancey
can hit from anywhere, but they
like to go inside to Walker...great
tradition...a tournament favorite.

Weaknesses:
Not that great a defensive team, at
least according to stats...might be
due to lack of quickness on front
line.

Yancey, Walker, Devlin.

Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Trappers are the best defense in
the region in field goal percentage
allowed. . . also boast one of best
point guards in Farr. . . Young an
excellent outside shooter . . .
good motion offense.
Trappers have gone into offensive
lapses this season...if Farr is
controlled the team not as
effective...good five or six but not
great depth.
Watch the Star-Tribune sports section for complete
and in-depth coverage of the Region IX Tournament.

Weaknesses:
Guard play has been inconsistent,
despite return of Jerome
Thurman...offense has gone on
sabbaticals, particularly In
halfcourt games.
Traditionally the toughest team
from the east sub-region...Leach is
the best guard from the sub
region...has played a tough
schedule, Including Moberly...great
quickness.
Physically not as strong as some
central or south sub-region
teams...east has won only once in
past 10 years...Bombers have given
up a lot of points.

Strengths:
On a roll, ranked in top eight in
country...only loss came to Texas
team early in year...probably best
guard line in region with Gordon
and Irvin...like to play 94 feet, and
push it up...top scoring team in
tournament
outside
of
Sheridan...good tradition.
Have shown tendency during
season
to
lose
close
games...probably a big man away
from being a contender for
Saturday night, but better than
record indlcates...the at-large team
chosen by coaches.

Panthers are one of three best tree
throw
shooting
clubs
in
nation.-.don’t appear to match up
physically, but playing with great
chemisfry...Bryd is a sought-after
guard, a great shooter...good
defensive team...on free throw line,
York will be tough to beat.
Not one of better rebounding
teams in fournament...don’t match
up underneath with some of bigger
clubs...perimeter game has to
work.

‘Dean’ bids farewell
to coaching fraternity
There will be a changing of the guard in the
Dean’s office this summer.
As most every Regon IX basketball fan realizes
by now, Casper’s Swede Erickson will step down
after the tournament (or after the National
Tournament) from coaching basketball. It will mark
the end of 28 years of building one of the finest
junior college programs in the country here in
Casper.
During those 28 years, Erickson has never
missed a game. And his “Number one right hand,”
Artie, has never missed a home game. Both will have
other duties beginning this summer, as Erickson
assumes duties as Director of the Casper College
Foundation.
Much has been said and honored about
Erickson’s career, but perhaps it was summed up
best by George Killian, Director of the National
Junior College Athletic Association. Speaking the
night of Erickson’s final regular season home game,
Killian expressed his appreciation for what the
Casper Coach has meant for basketball.
The dean of Region IX coaches was asked what
his hopes are for the league and its coaches.
“I hope they maintain the competitive caliber of
basketball that we have come to enjoy in this
region,” Erickson said. "I also hope the parity we
have now will maintain itself.”
Erickson admitted he will miss the coaching
fraternity, but promised to take his old adversaries
fishing next time around. “That’s another hope I
have,” he said. “That the coaches maintain the
rapport, the camaraderie we have enjoyed through
the years.”
The biggest T-Bird fan around next season will
be Swede Erickson.
