Photo by Trena Adair You feel like you could throw up. The butterflies in your stomach are mak- ing their way up through your throat. It's the first game of your life, and you are a nervous wreck. During my first ball game, I forgot all the plays and even some of the rules. I thought I would die, re- marked John Doyle. The butterflies may be there, but for some, a little experience makes all the difference. I was really nervous the first time I played a game, said Sean Maxwell. But after the first quarter, 1 calmed down and played a lot better. Then, of course, embar- rassment is a factor. 1 was afraid my friends and par- ents would see me mess up. I didn't want them to be disappointed in me, stated Billy Wright. Although playing the very first ball game is dreaded by most people, a few find the first game en- joyable. I was excited about my first game, said James Os- borne. I'll never forget it. By Ann Coggins

SEVENTH GIRLS BASKETBALL fi a win Magazine 18-25 Danville 12-10 Paris 10-16 Waldron 18-25 County Line 9-42 Sweating it out, literally. The seventh grade girls' basketball team just wouldn't say no until the score was in their favor against the Danville Little Johns. The first quarter featured both teams fruitlessly attempting baskets; howev- er, the Lady Kittens came out in the second quarter ready for action. Their man-to-man defense resulted in four steals and three tie balls. Mandy Adair contributed the first blocked shot of the season. Danville managed to score two points with 1:39 left in the half. Two foul shots from Danville made the score 4-0 at half-time, Dan- ville's favor. Booneville found the basket in the third quarter. Cherie Slate scored two at 1:56 and Jennifer Phelps shot from out- side to connect for two. Danville's re- sponse was two more points. Then a bucket each by Paula Davis and Mandy Adair tied the game. With 30 seconds left, Mandy Adair rebounded a missed shot by Jennifer Phelps and put it up and in for the winning field goal.
