RIGHT 0 . T1-IE WINNING EDGE After a winning streak of four games in a row followed by a losing streak of four in a row, Coach Harold Treadway expected the junior Lady Hornets to get back on the winning side. This expectation helped the girls to a 30-14 win against J .A. Fair in the ninth game of the season. Be- fore the next game Lisa Charleston, a starting forward, sprained her an- kle, but the team managed a win. The girls came back from behind in the second half to beat the War Eagles again, 42-37. According to Coach Treadway this was a good group. Overall, I think we've had a successful year. There were a lot of surprises and some of the players really im- proved. It takes a dedicated person to participate in junior athletics. The girls have to be dressed and ready to go at 7:00 a.m. The junior Lady Hornets ended the season with a 9-7 record and went on to Lonoke for the District Tournaments in February. .asv- W K . i-Tnla5sifi1'f ' . it ' fe ul I Concentration Kristy Beezley is caught in inclecision during the game against Jacksonville North which the Lady Hornets lost 28-51. fr .se Up lor a shot against Jacksonville South. .loanie Da- vis scores two, leading the Lady Hornets on to a 41- 23 victory.

The junior high boys basketball team re- treated to the locker room after a close loss to Mabelvale. The basket- ball team fought hard all year but never seemed to pull it off. The team had several players who kept them in the games all year. Dale Johnson scored many points from the inside for the team. Tommy Rester and Bernard Cook, an eighth grader, ripped the basket from the outside. The ball games were fought down to the last with the outcome CE I PLAY usually decided in the final quarter. In the game against Jacksonville South, the boys held the game close and went to the locker room only five down. Games were decided close most of the time: it seemed all to depend on luck, With a little luck on our side we could have won some of the closer games, said Tommy Rester. This comment summed up the expe- riences of the team which finished the season 1-15-0, the only win against Mabelvale during the coun- ty tournament. JR. BOYS BASKETBALL, EIGHT Front row: K.
