As a result of hard work in practice and in games, the Marlin bas- ketball team earned the right to compete in the Eastern District tournament. This was the first year Bayside was eligible for this competition. Six veterans, including Junior standouts Phil Law- son and Richard Poole, rcjurned to the court this year. The team was predominantly Juniors, but Sen- ior co-captains Petie Withers and Tom Solomon pro- vided the leadership. Marlin determination triumphed early in the sea- son. After dropping the season opener to Cox, the Marlins rebounded by beating Kempsville 83-59. Princess Anne beat Bayside, but was faced with stubborn opposition throughout the game. Close games were characteristic of the season. ln its first encounter with Bayside, First Colonial squeezed past the Mighty Big Red by the narrow margin of 3 points. In defeating Kellam 82-64, Bay- side had five players scoring double figures, led by Petie Withers U9 pointsl, Phil Lawson fl7i, and Bruce Humphries ULU. I 1 77

Q E ,, . .,. o I Marlins Gvercome Rough Start Bayside began the new year on the wrong foot, losing to Maury's 32 point scoring burst in the last quarter 74-49. The Marlins grabbed an early lead and repeatedly cut short Kempsville surges for a 58-54 decision over the Chiefs. Lake Taylor's strong defense held the Bayside scoring to 34 points in their non-conference game with the Marlins. Deep Creek found itself at the wrong end of a Bayside of- fensive stoked by Phil Lawson, with 23 points, and Pete Withers, with 18. Rallying behind Robbie Cook, the Marlins broke open a tight game with Kellam in the third quarter, resulting in a 7l-56 victory. The Marlins cinched their third of four consecutive victories by snuffing out Granby 59-52. The straight shooting of Richard Poole, Phil Lawson, and Petie Withers was instru- mental in Granby's first defeat by Bayside. The fol- lowing week the Marlins had a little trouble at the start but managed to overcome a I2-point deficit and outscore Cox 69-67. This victory, Baysides's first over the Falcons, set a record for number of Marlin wins in a row. Booker T. Washington broke the Marlin streak, then the Lake Taylor Titans added insult to iniury as they slipped by the Marlins toward an 85-73 victo- ry. Bayside returned to its winning ways when in the last 6 seconds it defeated Norview 62-60. First Co- lonial beat the Marlins with its accurate shooting, but Bayside fared better against the Cavaliers of Princess Anne. Again Princess Anne had problems handling the Bayside blitz, but bested the Marlins 65-56. 179
