Shooting For The Stars lVlauldin's Varsity Boys Struggle To Rebuild Team. Nothing comes without hard work as the Varsity Boys' Basketball team proved to the student body, faculty and fans. Coaches emphasized the importance of floor recognition, fundamental work such as passing, fast break, and defense Their record was definitely not a reflection of their capability. With a few unlucky breaks, the Mavericks fell short by only a few points many times. The strongest areas of this year's team were the quick and efficient defense, and the well- teammate as take a shot themselves. Coach Duke Fisher said the two weak areas were the rebounding and 35'Zn shooting as a team from the floor. When asked if elegibility had affected the guys, Coach Fisher replied, '5Yes. We lost a starter- leading rebounder and probably the best defensive player on the team also. We lost our back-up point guard too. He was playing about two quarters a game.

Kick Off To Win! Lady Mavericks Dominate Soccer Season Throughout the frigid December weather, the girls' soccer team maintained its determination to top last year's record with a 5-1 finish. Leading the team were Carrie Glibbery, Suzanne Fisher, Kellie McGlade, Jenny Jones, and Layla DeStaffaney. The girls added skill and experience to the team. Concerning student body and parental support, both the team and Coach Larry Frost were satisfied, although they would like to see more students at the matches. Hard work was the center of their success with ball handling drills and team scrimmage the major part of an afternoon practice, and stretching and running at the end. Being much more experienced with the depth of 20 girls, the Lady Mavericks went on to dominate .l.L. Mann, Boiling Springs, Dorman, Hillcrest, and Wade Hampton, losing only to Riverside. They hoped for an even better season and more participation. Dianne Farrington L .W a tw it . .
