TUCSON DAILY C1T1ZKNmj Prep cage previewryBlue Devils can relyon depth this seasonNRLVBy TIM O’MARACltiicn SpomwriterThis is another in a series on Tucson-area high school basketball prospects.There are many things Sunnyside High School basketball coach Jim Babb would like to improve on from last year’s team, which went 6-16 and wound up in last place in the Southern Division Class AAA West League.But being realistic, Babb knows he probably can’t do everything at once.So it’s experience and depth that the Blue Devils will rely on in, at last the early going. Five players who started part-time for Sunnyside return this season, making the team’s chances of escaping the cellar appear good.And with the players Babbhas back, he anticipates astrong defensive game will work best for the Blue Devils.Senior Paul Keim, a B-foot-6 center, is the big man for the Devils. Keim, says Babb, is a solid rebounder and shooter, and can be extremely intimidating on defense. He’ll be joined in the front count byDarrel Page, 6-1. and either Mike Dobbs or Russell Davis, both 6-2.The Blue Devils were a hot-and-cold team last year, playing exceptionally well at times but at others leaving much to be desired. The fact that sSunnyside lost 10 more games *than it won didn’t show up in jscoring statistics. Sunnyside Rallowed just one more point per game (61.6) than it scored (60.3).Obviously, consistency was a problem, but with the numbers of returning players,Babb hopes experience will tend to offset whatever inconsistencies might still prevail.1975-76 ScheduleDECEMBER: 2— Buena. 9 — af Rln-con. 12 — Palo Verfle. lo - al Santa Rita. 18 -7 Sabino.JANUARY: 6 - Amphi. 9 - al Tucson. 13 — o!
