Beals has the top eight players returning from last season's 23-5 sauad which won the district ournament, then was eliminated bv Pans in the regional semifinals. Seven are scoring douoie figures so far, though only four are starters.

"The rntn starter depends on the opposition and who looks good in practice," Beals said. The leading scorers are guards Randy Lunger, 21.3 points average, and John Jenkins, 20.7.
