.. 1 4 I 9 4- I By Dennis Rhodes To be a Viking basketball player, the first step to make in the right direction is towards dedication. Being a Viking makes me feel as being part of a program which is known throughout Texas. The off-season program is where you make it or break it. The long hours of hard work each and every day were really worth all we accomplished this season. The basketball program helps a person develop talents and skills which are useful on the court. Defensive and offensive tactics are some of the many things taught, as well as discipline. Most of all: togetherness, learning how to play as a team, and get along well on and off the court are important. Vikings combine together to "gel', as one. nn Sports What makes the coach proud is a person being able to give all he's got every time he steps on the court in practice or games. Coach always appreciated the good things a person did, and for the bad things he tried to help you to improve yourself as a person as well as a player. Respect is also what a coach wants out of his players. When a team wins, everyone is happy. When a team loses, everyone is disappointed. A true Viking will always be proud and always keep his head held high. A person can look back on a Viking season, good or bad, and show no signs of embarrassment. There is nothing I regret about being a Viking basketball player because being on two state championship teams, having great teammates, and being A 6 part of a successful Viking program have made the years very special to me.
