Shoot for It Although the height this year was a disadvantage for the team, the members worked hard to overcome it. Ierry Bark said, 'Our team was short this year. The team practiced long, and hard before, during and after school. They traveled all over Texas to play in tournaments, scrim- mages, and games. The furthest away game was against Abilene Cooper. Petey Wi Iiamson said, 'The away games were fun because we got to eat.

They Showed Their Stuff The l.V. basketball team proved a very tough team to beat. With a record of 18 and 9, they showed that they knew what they were doing. As the season moved on, the team's skills and shooting improved under the leadership of their coach, Melvin Hibbler. Hustle and team- work were what most of the players felt were important factors in winn- ing a game. When asked about practice, Dennis Hayes said, Everyone needs to practice to become better ball players. Many of the players felt Killeen and Bryan were their toughest op- ponents. They Iost to Killeen once and Bryan twice. Dana Blake said, 'I feel as though we've had a good season, but we lost some games we should have won. Scott johnson summed up the season and the game when he said, 'lt's a fun sport with a lot of fast action.
