Yamato High School
Varsity Basketball
1970-1971

Sporting the smallest team in the league the Warriors experienced a dismal season finishing fifth out of ten teams in the KPSSAA League. The Varsity was coached by Head Coach Jim Elliot and assistants Ray Birch and Terry Clark. With the return of only five lettermen led by Seniors Stan Avans, Mark Richardson, Juniors Charles Reasoner, Scott Richardson and Sophomore Rick Taylor the team called on inexperienced green rookies for depth. Yamato rebounded with smashing victories over ASIJ, Chofu, Narimasu, Zama and lost heartbreaking calls to ASIJ and Johnson twice. At the All Far East Basketball Championships at Yokota, the Warriors placed seventh out of sixteen teams, being nosed out of fourth at the last game by lucky Itazuke.
