This was the year that almost was This year was a disappointing year to me, from my standpoint we didn't play to our capability. We were weakest and lost some of our most important games from the free throw line, summed up Coach Bob Fry. Fulton compiled a 14-13 record, but there wasn't enough team work to make awinning team. Captain Greg Carter was voted most valuable player and best free throw shooter. Co-Captain Bobby Leverett was chosen best rebounder. Mike Strunk received the Chippy Ruth Memorial Award for the most improved player, and the Mickey Daffner award for the player with the most hustle went to Charles Dye.

Falcons fail to qualify for regionals Overall we had a real good team, we could have been the best in the city, but our free throw shooting kept us from going to the regionals and pos- sibly the state, commented several of the players. For the first time in seven years the Falcons failed to qualify for the re- gional tournaments. The team captured the AA division with a 14-13 record. In the district tournament the Falcons scored 83 points against Austin-East but fell to Holston in the semi-finals. B-Team basketball had a relatively good season but like the varsity squad, there was something missing. In the tournaments the team lost to Austin- East in their second game.
