Joseph-Ogdeh Okaw Valley Conference game. By CRAIG SANDERS JG SUN Writer SULLIVAN Sine seventh grade, a group of Sullivan cagm have been playing together their final season is about to dawn It will be a big one The seven seniors are expected to form the nucleus around which Sullivan High School basketball coach Larry Wagner will build the 1980 81 Redskins Three of tbe group enter the season with varsity basketball letters on their jackets Kevin Corley, Troy Anderson and Jerry Dobbs all held starting positions at one time or another last year. With the opening of the season less than two weeks away, the three are expected to be full-time starters. Last year Dobbs averaged 5 7 points per game. Anderson 5 9 per game and Corley 5.7 per game.

Other seniors in the group include Kevin England, Nate Nichols, Mark Connor and Scott Bales The group has just two problems First, they aren't very tall, nor are the team's juniors. The other is injuries agner lamented he's never encountered as many injuries prior to the start of a season as he has this year Dobbs and Anderson have yet to practice because they have injuries they sustained during football season Wagner said rather than have them working at a halfway pace, he has them sitting out practice until they heal. Also hampered by injuries is junior Jim Mossmaiu Mossman recently underwent knee surgery and probably won't be back until after Christmas. Wagner said. Scott Righter also has a knee injury, Wagner aid even the team's trainer injured his foot "I hope that's not a sign for the entire season, Wagner said Of the players Wagner has been able to look at in practice, he said England has been a consistent player who has improved a great deal over last year.

England played in nine games as a junior. Nichols got in three games and Conner two games Bales did not play basketball last season 4 Kevin Corley Troy Anderson Larry Wagner Jerry Dobbs Jell your don't wants with a want ad!
