WORKING TOWARDS VICTURY A pledge of dedication Basketball, as defined by Mr. Webster, is a game between two opposing teams of five players each, the object of the play being to toss a large inflated ball into a raised basket at either of the two opposite ends of the floor. Basketball, as defined by Doug Freeman, is demand- ing on the individual, taking up time and effort both on and off the floor. It requires much physical strength and quick thinking. Once begun, basketball is hard to get your mind off of. The most challenging as- pect of basketball is playing in the conference, said Coach Bill MacDonald. The boys played seventeen con- ference games in which fifteen were played against 3A and 4A schools. lunior girls' coach, Harold Treadway with the help of senior girls' basketball coach, Cathy Digby, led the girls to 4-0 in conference. The most consistent players for the boys were Doug Freeman, Ronnie Andrews, lohn Garrison, lack Dollarhide, and Iarvis Conic scoring an average of 632 per game. We play hard and enjoy it, said Coach MacDonald. This is the best team I've had in the three years I've been coaching here. They are a good group of kids who work hard. They wanted to practice over the Christ- mas holidays, but I did not want to, said Coach Treadway. This was a good year with lots of talent surfacing in both the girls and boys. Someday they all may be playing Hawg ball with the Arkansas Razorbacks. 76

BEGINNIN Foundation for Athletic Awareness In the beginning, there were the seventh graders, unintroduced to school orga- nized athletics. These poten- tial athletes got their chance to excel to their fullest as coaches Iackie Higgins, Har- old Treadway, and Cathy Digby led the young braves on to the battlefield and court. All had not had the chance to participate in team sports, let alone compete for their school against other schools. I was lucky to be able to play for community teams. When I was ten, I played for Blue Hill Garage, and when I was eleven, I played for Maumelle Land Develop- ment. Now that I'm in the seventh grade I'm able to play for my school's team which I much prefer. I like to play with all my friends from school on the team, they're like my brothers, said Brian Hare. Now, not only were they taught to excel as individ- uals, but with a team working as one. BASKETBALL.
