on a foul shot by Art Haight-who
scored only points all afternoon.
Example of a team with an
outstanding individual player that
can't seem to win is DeMatha.
The Stays, on the basis of 6-foot-7
Frank Fuqua. were given a high
preseason rating but have failed
to live up to notices.
Fuqua has averaged 22.5 in two
league games and been high
scorer all season but the Stays
have failed to win in three loop
contests and have not Jared well
against outside competition.
Many times when a team has
one outstanding player either the
club gets to depend on him too
much-passing to him when they
should shoot instead and gearing
their attack exclusively around
his point-getting-or it has the
opposite effect and the team re-
sents his stardom, refusing to
pass to the star. ..
Other clubs can set up special
defenses against a one-man team
and then there's the possibility
that the big point-getter will
have a cold day, in which case the
schools chances go down with his
off eye.
An outstanding player can be
an asset but coach wants a
well-rounded team to go with
him.
The Catholic League individual
scoring records show Gonzaga
