Viking_Yearbook_64

Employing Coach Sharkey Nelson's complex, multi-option offensive pat– terns, the 1963-64 Viking basketball squad finished second in the Oregon Collegiate Conference while compiling a 10-15 mark for the season . The Viks pounded OCC Champion Eastern Ore– gon three times. Nelson, an erstwhile protege of redoubtable Hank lba , char– acterized the squad as a " spirited, bounce-back" team. PSC's two contests with highly-rated College of Puget Sound illustrates this point. One night the Loggers bounced the V iks 99-69 ; the following night the Loggers squeezed by with a 67-65 last second victory. 87
