There's a lot of tough competition in our confer- ence, but we've been working hard to improve all year. Hopefully, by the time District Tournament comes around, our performance will reflect our hard work. One advantage is that the tournament will be held on our court, and all we have to do is play our game and do the things that we have worked on all year. If we do this, we should be in pretty good shape, said Mike Decker. Seven schools participated in this annual tournament, and each school has hosted it. Oak Grove's stiff competi- tion consisted of Altimer, Beebe, Carlile, England Lonoke, and Ioe-T Robinson. The tournament lasted from February 24 to March 1. Both junior and senior high boys and girls partici- pated in four games a night. The winners of the district tournament then went on to the regional tournament. Before the tournament Coach Bennett said, If we can get back into the groove of basketball and out of our losing streak, we will have a good shot at winning. I S6nlOf Basketball 7 3
