The Junior boys Basketball team finished off Su- biaco 34-28 in a come-back. The Kittens struggled in the first half with only one field goal; the turning point came in the second quarter with a rally of ten points from the two-two-one press. Brandon Barnard successfully shot a three-pointer with three seconds to the half, placing Booneville on top 12- sulting in a three-point play. Toward the end of the third, the kittens went to their “spread offense. But two turn overs from Booneville enabled Subiaco to cut Booneville's lead to five. As the clock clicked down to three, Wright faked a shot, then dropped off to a wide-open Hall for two. Most of the final quarter was spent at the free-throw line, as the Trojans be came frustrated.

 Pregame really gets the blood pumping. said Eric Catlett. The jitters of pregame. No matter if it's the senior athlete or the first year ath- lete, each feels the tingling anticipation of performing in front of a crowd. Tracey Blankenship said, The only bad part about pregame is if I screw up on a drill or throw an airball, my brother doesn't miss the chance to point it out to the rest of the audi- ence! The ball handling and lay-up drills usually help the athletes loosen up and block out crowd noise once they're out on the floor. Michael Hall even ad- mitted, Sometimes, when we get real brave, we at- tempt some pretty wild stuff! But, put in Bran- don Barnard, when we're playing the game, all the horsing around stops, or to the bench you go! Kittens Eric McConnell and James Osborne both agreed, The most impor- tant part of pregame is coming onto the court through the cheering line of Lady Kittens: it really gives us a lift knowing people are supporting us. Tracey Blankinship summed it up when he stated, I suppose the teas- ing in pregame helps. It seals out everything else so we can just play ball. by Tresa Adair.

The battle in Wal- dron February 2 continued the Lady Kittens bad luck; their season record stood at 0-6. By the end of the first quarter the Bullpups had taken a ten point lead that they would not relinquish, and the Lady Kittens never pulled closer. Waldron then coasted to a comfort- able win, 41-16. The stats also showed Waldron's domination over the Lady Kittens. Waldron made 36 percent of their free throws while the Lady Kittens only made 28 percent. We started out with only four ninth grade girls out of twelve, so it's obvi- ous a lot of eighth graders saw a great deal of action this year. We're just young and inexperienced, but the young playing will help us down the road, Coach Pr wq explained-----.... 5iedra Frost had the top scoring average at 5.3 pet- TiTe the two top re- bounders were Tiffany Ju- lien with nine per game, and D'lisa Rayborn with four. Rayborn, an eighth grader said, Most of the girls are already looking to next year, but we all work hard, and going through these losses together has really brought us closer as a team.
