1983 Miracle Yearbook

SPORTS Men's Varsity Basketball The difference between a good and a great record was only a handful of points in a handful of games. The Cedarville College Varsity Men's Basketball team post- ed another winning year.However,the 17-14 record does not accurately reflect their season. Six of the 14 losses were by a margin of four points or less. Perhaps the most memorable of these was when Cedarville played Walsh,then ranked third in the nation in the NAIA,at the Athletic Center. The Yellow Jackets took Walsh into two overtimes before bowing out at the short end of a 102-105score. Another interesting situation occured when,after a full game and one overtime,Cedarville beat Dyke by a 2-0 forfeit — the Dyke coach refused to let his team onto the floor when the remainder of the contest had to be played with only one official. The team also set a building scoring record by whipping Mt. Vernon Nazarene 118 to 71. The team was led by Senior Captain Dave Carr. He set a school record by playing 115 consecutive games, and he finished twelfth and seventh in career scoring and rebound- ing respectively. He was selected to the All-NAIA District 22 team and to the second team for the MOC and NCCAA District III. Tim Danube also made NCAA District III Second Team and NAIA District 22honorable mention.Atthe Findlay Tournament, John Srnis was named to the Findlay College Invitational All-Tournament Team.
