of Phi Delta Theta and is ma
joring in architecture. He has
a 6.0 grade average.
Petsch feels the biggest
change from high school to
college basketball is in the
faster moves td the boards
and rougher checking in col
lege ball.
He feels his weakest point
is defense, but he is working
on this phase and says - he
hopes to be up to par by next
season td make a strong bid
for a berth on the varsity
squad.
