In the game of basketball, the basics are the starting point. Basics you ask? What's so hard about bouncing a basket- ball up and down the court? It's a cinch, right? Wrong, there's more to basket- ball than bouncing an orange ball up and down the court. A beginning athlete has to learn how to think quickly, to analyze the situation, and finally to at- tack. He always needs to be alert and know what's going on around him whether he be on offense or defense. Seventh grade is where athletes learn how to master their skills. David Beckham, coach of the seventh grade, said, My main objective for seventh graders is to teach them the basics on man- to-man. I feel it will lead to suc- cessful teams. The girls' team, in a game against Hackett, proved to have that never die instinct. The game consisted of three nerve- racking overtimes. In the third overtime one of Hackett's play- ers was fouled with the score tied 13-13. Candy Greenbush grabbed the rebound with eight seconds left and dribbled the length of the court to make the winning lay-up. The final score was 15-13. The boys team also showed a lot of potential in their games. Against Waldron the Kittens proved to everyone that they meant business. They totally dominated Waldron, winning the game with a score of 20-2. Whether it be the close games or easy ones, both teams have shown they. are beginning to master the basics. Learn the basics 49
