Sophomore Brenner Carter led the team in scoring with a 17.1 points per game average. He set a school record with 4l points and received all district Honorable Mention. Adding the height were juniors Reggie Evans, George Stephenson, and Tom Ste- phenson. They were responsible for the majority of our rebounds. As one of our starting seniors, Kevin Cooke inspired others with his hustling style of play. Freshman Mark Giles proved himself on the court and stands as a future bright spot on the team. Injuries and illness kept plaguing the team throughout the year. That was no deterent when it came down to the all important county championship against rival tabb. Naturally, as in football, the title remained in York’s victory ranks. 53 j

Junior Varsity Falcons Struggle in Tough League Freshman Falcons seem to have some type of evil spirit guarding over them. The Junior Varsity Basketball team lost a number of extremely close games before they brought home a victory. A large number of underclassmen made the Var- sity team and the Jay Vees were formnate enough to still have a competitive team. The starting team never averaged over six feet and many of the teams that they were pitted against had starting lineups that well exceeded the six foot mark. Coach Bill Davis was concerned about the staggering start, but the players never came to a game with any attitude but win- ning. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders made sure that spirits stayed high and the excite- ment that the team provided was enough to keep all the students proud of their J.V.s. Earnest Tyson makes his move to the hoop. Mike Waclawski plays a tight zone defense. Front Row: Kevin Greene, Chonsi Whitby, Renard Morton, Henry Morton, Henry Van, Johnny Fox. Back Row: Robert Falin, Rusty Raines, Mike Waclawski, Ernest Tyson, Tim Sundy, Robert Wilshower. 55
