ONE ON ONE The Blue Knight VARSITY basketball team dribbled their way to a 15-7 overall record for the exciting 78-79 season and finished a rousing third in the LPD with a 9-5 record. Everyone was very proud of the Knights who defeated every team in the district at least once. They were also third in the Coal Classic tournament, with start- ers David Pate and Billy Fleenor honored for their fine | performances on the court. The most exciting, heart-stopping game of the season was the home battle against arch-rival, Norton, when Coeburn won in thrilling double overtime by a score of 85- 83. Coach Harris’ potent squad was paced by senior Mark Holbrook who received an all-district award. It is said that Coeburn had the most potential talent in the district, but often lacked intestinal fortitude (guts). The team was well- balanced with all starters in double-figures and excellent talent coming back for next year. The JUNIOR VARSITY basketball team was outstand- ing under the coaching of David Lee. They had a district record of 12-2, losing both games to Norton, and an over- all record of 15-2. They became district champions by beating Norton by one glorious shot in overtime. These young sharpshooters should certainly be an asset to Coe- burn in the years to come. All in all, the Blue Knights had a great basketball sea- son and will be even greater next year! 28
