Summary
The Beaver Island Community School basketball team qualified for the 1997 district tournament after a 4–7 Northern Lights League regular-season record. The March Beaver Beacon says the team’s final regular-season game was February 22 and identifies Greg Cary as volunteer coach. It also reports that the team raised $650 to travel off-island for a game against Boyne Falls JV.
Roster listed in the report
Dustin Crandall, Jerry Turner, Will Markey, John McCafferty, Nick Olson, Jessica McCafferty, Ryan Wojan, Kyle Wojan, Travis Martin, Drew McDonough, Brad McDonough, and Jeremy Sowa are listed with their grade levels.
The same issue says the BICS girls’ volleyball team defeated Grand Marais in all three games of its accompanying visit, but it gives no complete volleyball record.
Evidence limits
The report establishes qualification for the district tournament but does not give the tournament result, a box score, or a complete financial accounting of the travel fund.
