Announcement
The 2005 Clear Lake High School Basketball Banquet was held Wednesday evening, March 29, at the Johnson Space Center Gilruth Center in the Alamo Ballroom.
The parents of the varsity players, in devotion to their player sons, provided some video highlights and had the banquet hall very festively decorated in honor of the successes of the 2004-2005 varsity team (check out the bags holding the balloons in the photos in the ALBUMS Section).
The evening consisted of dinner, recognition of the many people who contributed to the success of the basketball program, season reviews and team recognition for all five teams by the respective coaches, and the awards announcements for Falcon Hall OF Fame 2005 Inductee, George Wang Hustle Award, and Varsity MVP award.
As an added bonus, the seniors were honored by fathers Gene Pearce and Steve Oswald. Gene presented an impressive, in-depth numerical comparison of the seniors' scoring and won/loss stats for their entire high school career (and some going back to the seventh grade). Former astronaut Steve Oswald reviewed some accomplishments and the future plans of the seniors.
VIP's in attendance included Superintendent Dr. Sandra Mossman, Principal Linda Rawlings, coaching legend Bill Krueger, and Hall of Famers Jim Saxe, Jim Williams, and Leo Sarabia.
Former Clear Lake Varsity coach Bill Krueger introduced former Falcon George Wang as the 2005 Hall of Fame inductee. George provided a brief motivational speech to the players and parents on the attributes derived from playing basketball and their value as you proceed through life. George is the player after whom the annual Hustle Award is named. Former coach Jim Saxe, last year's Hall of Fame inductee, originated the award and has provided scholarship money to the George Wang Hustle Award winner since 1978 (Coach Saxe owns and operates the Clear Lake Putt Putt Golf Course on NASA Road 1). This year David Pearce received the George Wang Hustle Award (presented by varsity coach Lynn McDonald), and co-captain Gordon Abner was chosen by his teammates as the team MVP.
