WM.--......,,, ...va 1 Focused on skills Sophomore The sophomore basketball team was one of the rebuilding programs installed by new head coach Joe Main. The team had talented players such as Jonathan Miller and Ray Criswell. The objective was to teach younger players the basic offenses and defenses of the new system. Coach Tom Johnson said the 8-12 record was pretty good. The team progressed throughout the season. Coach Johnson's major disappointment was not winning the Clear Lake Tourna- ment, which they lost by one point in the second round. They won third place at Clear Lake. The team lost three one-point games while winning only one of those games. Freshmen It was' not a good year for the fresh- man team, which ended with a 5-12 sea- son. Although the team didn't have a win- ning season, the players progressed, coach Clarence Guiton said. Rebuilding was the focus of the year as new head and assistant coaches entered the pro- gram. The younger team did not aim at win- ning, assistant coach Thompson said. Instead, the goal was to allow as much exposure as possible. Cedrick Diamond and Calvin Jackson were two of the play- ers who progressed well during the sea- son. Left: Sophomore Larry Lane watches the ball after he has taken a foul shot.

The meet scheduled to be run at Aldine was moved to pleted. TRACK Potential encourages new coach With the hiring of a full-time track coach, new emphasis was placed on varsity track. Mike McCracken, still an active track man, has led students to state in the past and began working on a team at Aldine this year. The 1980 varsity track team didn't do as well as predicted, coach McCracken said, but there were several individual stand-outs. Out of a nine-meet schedule, including district, the Mustangs had three notable finishes at Baytown with a fourth out of seven teams, at the Jetero relays with a fifth out of 11, and at Spring with an eleventh out of 21. Many outstanding performances led to these accomplishments, however, the success failed to materialize at district. At district, here at Aldine, proven sprinters Rodney Coleman and John Crout missed regionals by tenths of seconds, getting sevenths in the 800- and 400-meters, respectively. Dana Randall ran a 4-9.5 at district, good enough for a second but came up ineligible at the last minute and had to run ,l.V. ln the field events Kevin Green led the high jump with a 6'4 for a second at the Spring Meet the week before district. Clyde Williams' shotput of 4-7 feet got a third at the A.I.S.D. Champion- ships along with other weightman Luther Franklin whose discus throw of 140 feet placed a fifth at the ,Ietero Relays. School records were broken by several stand-out performances. The 1600-meter fmilel relay team of Dana Randall, Rodney Cole- man, Wendell Jackson and John Crout set a record at 3:23:3. John Crout, who received the most valuable player award, also personally set two school records in the long jump with a jump of 2l'2 and the triple jump with a 4-3'2 jump, a foot farther than the last record. Jack Lewi set the 3000-meter 12 milesj run school record at 10:02:2. Coach McCracken said, in his new position, It is very encour- aging to come in where the athletic director is making moves to upgrade track. The new track was very encouraging, and some- how with 3,000 students and a nice facility there is much poten- tial.
