You're tearing down the court with the ball. The perfect shot is in sight. You're almost there. Up, up, you shoot the ball — only to come down on your ankle, spraining it for what seems life. I jumped up to contest this girl's shot. I came down on my ankle. Need- less to say, I managed to pull both ten- dons, explained Tresa Adair. Although sports seems to be mostly fame and glory, it has its disadvantages as well. Injuries can set athletes back. The coaches have weight lifting pro- grams to help athletes achieve a higher quality of fitness so that an athlete will be able to heal quicker. Injuries bring about unfortunate cir- cumstances. Scott Webb, one of the Cats' best receivers was carried off the field on a stretcher during a conference game against Ozark and taken by ambulance to the city hospital. Three of his verte- brae were knocked out of place. His big- gest concern at that moment was, atten- dants recalled, his jersey being cut off. Coach Scheel will really get me. I thought it was over, for good, remem- bered Scott. After having surgery on his knee, Ty Hampton commented, It's really easy to get out of shape, not to mention how weak my knee was. Dr. Doug Parker of Fayetteville, AR, established a Physical Therapy Depart- ment at the Booneville City Hospital, which opened February 1, 1988. Teresa Prewett, who worked under Dr. Parker, runs the Therapy Department and at- tends the games. The quicker the ath- lete gets medical attention the quicker he will recover and start playing again, commented Ms. Prewett.

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.

• v ts- s,vx ' .v v . Bearcats win with freethrows Nil v■ c uz j . It definitely was a freethrow game, explained new assistant coach Dale Mann. With a freethrow percentage of 71 percent, the Bearcats came out on top against the Mansfield Tigers, 50-43. From the first, the Bearcats and Tigers battled for the lead. Scott Goodwin scored the first bucket from a fast-break pass from Jeff Smith. Mansfield, not tak- en back, responded with two. Through- out the first quarter, both teams seemed to be trading baskets. But with 2:30 left and the Cats down by one, Ernest Goff swished a three-pointer only to be fol- lowed by another three-pointer from Smith putting Booneville up by five. Steals from Tony Travis and Smith joined with Goodwin's and Russell Wil- son's rebounding contributed to their 13-10 lead at the end of the quarter. The deciding quarter started with a 37- 32 lead for the Bearcats. Drives to the hole from both Travis and Wilson wi- dened the margin for the Cats. Needing to run some time off the clock, the Cats spread-out their offense. Smith drib- bling from half-court scraped off a screen set by Goff, then drove past three Mansfield players to score a lay-up. But the Tigers weren't out of it yet; a two- point play combined with a three-point- er brought the score back to 50-43. The Cats stayed in their spread of fense which caused Mansfield to foul. By making their freethrows and making key steals on defense, the Bearcats came away with an exciting 50-43 victory. Smith hit key shots from the baseline, ending as high scorer with eighteen. Tony Travis had ten while both Scott Goodwin and Ernest Goff added nine apiece. Following was Russell Wilson with four.
