F irst game sets the pace with a victory The first game set the tone for the whole season, as the fresh- man basketball team opened at home with a victory against Redlands, 49 to The team lost three games the whole season, two of them against Banning by an average of 23 points. Much of the team ' s scoring was by the three leading scorers, forward Joey Dawley, who averaged 14 points, guard jamel Perrin, with a 12-point average, and the center, Anthony Warren, who scored an average of 1 1 points a game. I believed that we had a pretty good season this year, winning nine and losing three, guard Jamal Perrin said. I suppose that ' s pretty good, since we didn ' t have a tall team. Our coach Todd Dickenson was a good coach, because he worked us good in practice and got us into shape so we could be a running club. This past season was very excit- ing and fulfilling, guard forward Chris Groty said. We did very well for our first year of competition. When we were playing our best, we could probably beat anyone, but when we weren ' t we couldn ' t beat a fly. Even though we were smaller than most teams, our speed would help us win games. The team played with a lot of heart, and I felt overall we were a good team, guard Floyd Gaines said. We lost some games we should have won, but I felt good playing with the new team. The offensive MVP award was earned by Dawley; the defensive MVP title went to Gaines. FRESHMAN B.ASKETB.M.I.. 1 KO.N 1 ROW: Cornell Djv.s. Br ' .n B.ggcrs, ].m.,l Pcrrm, SECOND ROW: Floyd Gains.

GO, TEAM, GO! Momka Jones leads :hecrs at the first JV boys baslcetball home game. C onveying excitement skill of cheerleaders i SJ 7 f ff out to get a victory VV was one of the year ' s most popular cheers, according to the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders liked to think the cheer was appropriate: at least part of the athletic team ' s success was due to school spirit — and to cheering. Cheerleading is a very fun and active sport for me, said sophomore Sherie Dixon, a Cougar mascot. It took a lot of time and practice, but most of all a lot of energy. I believe that the pep rallies really got the stu- dents into school spirit. I hope that the students enjoyed watching us as much as we enjoyed doing it. According to Dixon, cheerleading involves a lot of responsibilities and requires more than just to be able to have fun. Being a mascot, she added, made her feel she was an important part of the cheerleading squad. I love cheerleading, she said, and I hope that a lot of people can experience it during their high school years. Cheerleading is a very exciting sport, Elizabeth Akins agreed. It ' s hard being the first cheerleaders of a new high school, but I enjoyed sup- porting our winning athletic teams.
